Steven Patrick Morrissey ( MORR-iss-ee; born 22 May 1959), known mononymously as Morrissey, is an English singer and songwriter. He came to prominence as the frontman and lyricist of rock band the Smiths, who were active from 1982 to 1987. Since then, he has pursued a successful solo career.

Ancestral genocide
And darkness behind a lover's eyes
Homeland doesn't look quite as brave
Send your children to their grave
Founded on fanaticism
And a fear of realism
All your concrete won't fill this schism
Late stage capitalism

A tourniquet won't stop this blood
Because what is done is done
Curtains won't filter out this Son
Now you are seen by everyone

Geriatric jellyfish
Floating in a dangerous abyss
Homeland doesn't look quite as free
Bring your people to their knees

Build a Damn to stop the flood
Let them eat cake, or choke on the mud
A boat can't carry you across the seas
To escape these one and a half degrees

Holy land they say
To me, it seems Godless
Violence is the only divinity
And I've never seen such devotion
Body and blood they say
And they really mean it
What do you say to a child
Whose essence they are eating
