    And did those feet in ancient times, form upon Africa's fair shores
    And did they strive til they could rise, onto two legs from on all fours
    And did they learn to walk and talk, to think and do things with their hands,
    And did they spread across all the globe upon its green and pleasant lands
    And did those feet in ancient times walk upon Europe's rugged shore
    Did they displace neanderthals with skills they learned by moving more
    And did they cross the narrow sea, breeding with Romans, Saxons and
    Vikings and Normans, Jutes and celts, in green and pleasant Angle land
    And did those feet in ye olde times go over there and take their stuff
    Kill them with swords and with disease, all in the name of God above
    And did we swell with stolen wealth, and did we think ourselves so grand
    Did we invade and take all their homes for our expanded pleasant land
    And did those feet in recent times suck them all dry and spit them out
    And did we leave and go back home and wonder what it's all about
    And did we think important thoughts; in our big brains we thought it fair
    That we should fill a museum with things we took from over there
    And do those feet, in modern times, kick at our cousins bitterly
    And do we try to throw them out if they're from east of Italy
    And do we try to break away; for what we took we shall not pay
    I'm sorry Scotland but you must stay In Britain's mean unpleasant land
    Turn back the boats to Africa. Send them away I shall not share
    Theresa say, blah blah blah blah, let them all die, I do not care
    We must protect our golden hen. We'll wage another war and then
    We've killed and killed, we'll kill again for Britain's greed infested land.

    You should upload a video with an animation going along with the lyrics, only sung in a high quality studio like the Tetris video. If you do that, you've got another viral video on your hands! If not, I'm afraid you won't break 50k views. Not trying to be rude, just realistic, I want you to succeed because you're very talented so I want to give you a suggestion. Of course, it's all up to you.
    Regardless, keep up the great content! Your Tetris video helped me on my APworld final and was absolutely brilliant, just brilliant. Same with this song!

      *****, "blah-blah-blah."
      England was a great nation that brought modernism and culture to otherwise dead-end peoples at the expense of dead savages. Their "exploitation" of other lands was well earned, considering they took the time to show people there's more to life than eating bugs and chasing one-another through the woods with sticks.
      But, I'm sure that doesn't fit into your liberal-minded narrative, you'd much rather believe that they were a menace to the world, and were pure evil. I don't know why you'd want to think that, other than maybe the fact that your dick gets hard at the thought of sucking up to some shit-eating Muslim or other form of titled minority.
