Lyrics:
Great snakes are we moving already
Good gravy did you say it cost a penny or two
For you
Well talking bout the bad starts
My baby brother has already got a gas mask
It’s a good old fashioned landslide
Killing with your hands tied
In the homemade rope
Set sail babe we read it in the mail - no hope
Great way to fool me again hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Why
Does it seem
A fever dream
For all
The call you made to me you said
I fear
One day each year
For worry
We shall remember the dead
And we’ll remember the dead
So they know that we’re sorry
And then Carry on
Great way to fool me again hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
How could it be the money it’s the vote that matters to me,
You say you’re hungry but you won’t eat the caraway seed
Does it matter in the wreckage what should you say?
I found myself a little peckish last Tuesday
This is what you signed up for, no questions,
Reckon we could offer peace time from weapons conventions,
It’s on the table,
But It’s no game can’t you hear all our worries for fear
Carry on
Great way to fool me again hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
It’s a good old fashioned landslide
Killin with your hands tied
With a homemade rope
Set sail babe we read it in the mail - no hope
It’s a total fucking whitewash
For the people that we might squash
Ammo from home soil
Set sail for wherever the fuck got oil this time
And if it’s not a fucking war crime
It’s a total waste of your time
It’s getting so much worse
Get real kid your country’s been at war since birth now
And if it’s not a fucking outrage
What’s it all about babe?
Now it’s one on one
Great Britain gonna tell ya where it all went wrong
And then Carry on
Great way to fool me again hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen

Who knew baked beans could evoke such immense feelings of discomfort
r/beansinplaceswherebeansshouldnotbe
wait wtf you bake beans
@@CheesePills not personally but my main man Mr Heinz does
I did. They’re grim
you ever seen em in a croc
he threw political shade AND made a banger? multitasking king
that's declan for you
Almost every punk band does that haha.
V GM he really has !! Brazil is probably the most well known one
Respect, respect, never doubt, never doubt
Not nearly a banger. Cool message though.
Declan really gets me dancing to political crises
HAHAHAHA+
Too true :(
2020...

Historical crisis
Brazil: Who are you?
British bombs: I'm you, but stronger
right......
yeah right

Both in likeness, and *destruction*
@Shinji ツ hehe
declan: straight up just screaming

If you like screaming I suggest "DVP" by Pup
@@MrPatters PUP has no bad songs, i love those canadian boys
can I tattoo declan's voice on my arm or is that not how it works?
sophie you can actually tattoo a soundwave of the whole song and you can have apps scan it, so technically yes you can
@@kindalikery2571 im doing that.
you can. wasnt edgy enough
@@merengue4219 very good point :) thank youu x your English is great ! Have a great day

Yes! Also, LADY BIRD
It’s a bop + throwing political shade = declan mckenna formula
McKenna is an expert at that
"political shade" is such a childish and disregarding way to put it but whatever
@@guiafb99 it's slang, dude
@@guiafb99 shut the fuck up
@@harrymccormack4920 hahahahha
I want to see the majority of the comments talking about the GENOCIDE IN YEMEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
Not only Yemen but the many wars that the UK is enabling via the sale of arms. Not to mention then illegal war on iraq in 2004! This proves that the politicians will lie to the public time and time again to get to oil.
Tommy Allain yeah u right
Not condoning it, but if we don't then USA, France, China or Russia steps in to fulfil that contract. Why not start by condemning the actual Saudis and hold them to account? The Argentinians used Exocet missiles against us in the Fawklands war to sink part of our fleet and we didn't directly blame the French. At some point you've got to stop being cautious and speak out against the nation.
@@TommyAllain1995 **o i l**
@Finbar Power They basically held us hostage and denied us partition for the longest time. The simultaneously laughed at us while using our land and our labour
i was taking a shower and i almost slipped and died bopping to this AMAZING song, but honestly what a way to go tho
glad you caught yourself
wait i did the same thing yesterday uh-
what a way ik
poggers
declan really doesn’t have one bad song
Katie Robknobs true
Katie Robknobs true
The only bad song that declan has is like meat in my kitchen, and I'm vegetarian
He really doesn't
Katie true
the next album is called: what do you think about the beans
alt er love this was genuinely hilarious. i hope he does this xD
im think bout thos beans
I literally commented that you dickhead
alt er love Zeros lmao
Elias Gabriel Suárez Rosas b e a n o s
OMG I'm 53 nearly, I have kids older and younger than Declan but when I hear his work (started with Brazil, love the kids dont want to come home). Declan you are a hero a voice of sanity in a sea of sh*t
keep on rocking and make it a free world! Genius thank you
Three years late, but I'm with you, my brother, he rocks. Just saw him in Prague last week, with my daughters (16 and 13) and he blew the roof off the place ❤🎉
I love this song, but for a moment I need to talk about the music video! Holy hell! Ed did a great job of directing! From the mixture of animation, puppets and actual videos to the use of food and how as a society we are trying to be blinded.
I’m in shock of how beautiful this piece is! I love it so damn much! Thank you to Ed and everyone who took the time to make this! It really payed off!
Yeet The wheat yeah and it kind of connects with the whole crisis in Yemen with the famine going on... all the food in this video and then trying to act like everything is normal- it truly is brilliant
Brianna Dennis I agree!
@@BrDe135 also all the food is very english. I.e. full english breakfast, roast dinner, fish and chips. This is definitely a representation of the propaganda we are all being fed without knowing (indicated by the "growing lad" eating up not seeing theres an issue or another way of thinking. Once the young girl stops eating she starts seeing the truth. (Death and destruction) followed by death creaping into the house which is quickly crushed by the mother offering answers to dismiss the young girls worries but she herself is a product of propaganda. The UK is involved in many wars via arms sales enabling mass genocides and wars. This is reinforced by the rememberance day section saying we will carry on anyway. Carry on spreading evil despite the losses suffered to defeat evil.
Amazing lyrics and an even better music video to cement the ideology of the lyrics.
wooooooooooow who asked?
I either cry myself through the song, or scream until my voice tries to give up.
It never will, however. My voice will never be silenced.
the description says "The debut album 'What Do You Think About The Car?' is available now" we know declan, has been for 2 years thanks
chrissy fr haha
Kaitlin Radford you do realise you can take dislikes back, yes?
@Kaitlin Radford sknhsd its ok and thankku
🤣
@Kaitlin Radford also it doesn't matter since dislikes are useless here anyways
I love this so much.
The cutesy animation interspersed with clips of bombs and ruined houses.
As well has how the walls finally drop for the character as she realises that underneath our happy facade of being innocent and polite and non threatening, Britain has been committing global atrocities out of site.
And then at the end we see her finally take a mouthful of the food she’s been refusing, which I think symbolises her giving into the deception because she doesn’t really want to face the truth.
Donutsandmusicaltheatre areamazing thanks for the interpretation! i was trying to understand what people meant by “political shade” but i do not reside in britain so i couldn’t figure it out lol
Now you remind me of my homework that I am supposed to do... And it involves analysis HAHA
kayley no problem :)
Violent Hazard oh nooo good luck with it
@@danb4282 yeah, until now I haven't still finished it HAHA
this is the epitome of brit pop.. blur and oasis and every band that came after them are proud
You're right but I get a bit of Killers too? ☺
hmm maybe, personally I don’t hear it
To me he kind of sounds like a young Julian casablancas
luke from the kooks is the closest for me..
@@sebowensmusic holy shit I never realized how much he sounded like luke omg
I only stand for MY national anthem
Yeeyee Perkins wym
all hail the soviet union
@Emotional Seal
So all hail starvation is what you’re saying? lol
declan swearing is something i didn’t know i needed until now
lauren hill but he’s swore on some of his other songs
make me your queen says hey
isn't it refreshing and pure?!?!?!?
I went to the bathroom in the middle of my class just for listen to it.
Best decision.
Dissapointed but not surprised i’m happy i was not the only one
Yikes.
Might want to not skip class to work on your grammar
Dissapointed but not surprised Did the other kids laugh at you for pissing yourself or were they too caught up in the song to notice?
god this song really does capture that point in british kid life where the polite, reserved, endearing perception you had of your country really falls away and you learn about all of the terrible things its responsible for. its difficult to feel proud of a place that has had a hand in so many fucked up things
welcome to enlightenment! just keep those eyes open. You have the power to make it change. And you're not alone. LOVE YOU>>>>>>
As an American i agree
you can be proud of the people you live with and what they've done. There are a few very shitty and very powerful people everywhere, don't let them define you!!
SlyPrince I better myself because I don’t have pride. it’s called being humble, being proud when there’s nothing to be proud over is unrealistic.
@@way2dead4u yes very humble to boast about how great you are in the TH-cam comment section.
Dec keeps me more aware about political and international issues than my teachers..
no one:
declan: *SCREAMING*
me: *proud & not surprised* I STAN A LEGEND
Thanks this reminded me of Dont Hug Me Im Scared and now i'll never eat baked beans again >:(
Laura Sparrow love ur profile picture
Ness !!!! Thanks! :)
Same
Oof yeah...
i kept thinking the same thing hehehe
okay but that screaming part starting at like 4:07 is like the best thing I've heard this year
The song is almost 5 years old and its still relevant to the ongoing wars and genocides going on in the Middle East....that's super cool that McKenna is that culturally aware but also fucking heart breaking
his voice has grown up so much!
Nicole Amedee ikr dude i almost didn't recognise him
Nicole Amedee are you his mom?

I’m gonna be at a doctors appointment when this drops and my doctor is gonna have to listen to it with me because I’m not waiting 💅
that's a good fan
dedication right there mate
i love ur icon
Mia Tortellini how did it go
did the doctor like it???
This kid is a truly accomplished musician but first of all a wonderful human being
Man I love seeing politically active and frustrated messages hiding with a catchy chorus
song : I AM A REAL BOP
video : EAT YOUR BEANS
My favorite part about Declan is how he uses his platform to touch in serious issues
He actually does sing indie rock. Where basically not only he songs about politics. But like real life problems and there have been other songs basically about spreading kindness. I know. He's fucking amazing
Alex Mar yeah Declan is everythinggg
since when is political a genre
gum ball lol good point but I never said it was a genre I said it’s somthing that he was
So punk
Bruh this song really coming back into fruition this year :/
anyone else here hate that this somg is relevant again... its barely been a couple years :/
DECLAN REALLY DIDNT HAVE TO SCREAM LIKE A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN FOR HALF A SONG. BUT HE DID. AND IM IN LOVE
okay shut up now
@@emotionalseal4947 who hurt you?
*Went from singing Brazil to this..*
we love an international king
The Snoot Drooped mr worldwide😍😍
don't forget Bethlehem
and "brazil" is pretty fucking relevant right now. king of foreshadowing.
+bethlehem
Ugh his mind! 😍
declan has been giving us politically significant songs we can dance to since 2016 bro
Very different sounds but Idles and Declan McKenna are making some of the most important music in the UK right now.
I completely unrelatedly only started listening to idles last night and found this song this morning after remembering my forgotten love for decco and as someone who’s very new to the U.K. I agree
I really agree and hope they continue, especially in climates like today..
only understood 5% of the words but what a bop
Amber thought I was the the only one who couldn’t make out some of the lyrics.
Same lol
Found the lyrics genius.com/Declan-mckenna-british-bombs-lyrics
Well I searched the lyrics first that gave me a fright at first but now it is a bop and :)
GREAABUUUOONTTKO SEKMGEEEEEEBOMMM absolute banger
declan makes music for politically frustrated indie kids and ive never felt more represented god i love him
saaaaaaaaaame
This is possibly the most relatable comment I've ever seen
eva sjö get frustrated, then get organized. Overthrow the corruption you were born into.....
Or numb yourself with entertainment and wait for the apocalypse. Meh
come on y is music
I’m American so I can relate with your politics but Declan makes some sweet music
Well this is suddenly relevant
To me this music video really captures the horror of growing up and becoming more aware of all the problems in the world, as well as how powerless we are to do anything about them
I'm convinced that everything Declan makes will inevitably be perfect
soo what did u think of the new album
so proud Dec !! Can’t wait for the finished album
Do u know when the album is dropping sis??
Jordan Schumacher unfortunately not but Dec said he’s working hard to get it done very soon !!
Thank you SO much, youtube recommendations.
*_FINALLY A SINGER THAT DOESN'T JUST COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR LOVE LIFE!_*
This video is unsettlingly beautiful omg and OF COURSE the audio is brilliant.
THE WAR IN YEMEN IS ONE OF THE WORLDS WORST HUMANITARIAN CRISISES THIS EXPOSURE IS CRUCIAL AS THE MAJORITY OF YEMENI CIVILIANS ARE FACING FAMINE👏
thank u declan for making people have to understand
I think this is taking about The Yemeni war and also the Iraq war as well, as there was "killing with your hands tied", referring how British soldiers were having to follow orders when they didn't want to in Iraq. And "good old fasioned landslide" was definitely referring to the New Labour landslide election.
I think it is talking about a lot of the wars in the middle east that Britain was a part of, including Yemen
1Crafter agreed- i think there is also a significance to saying where the war is otherwise it becomes easier to shrug off if it's in a "far away" land
@@user-mr2rr9vx7r yeah, I think he definatley used Yemen as it is a war that is a current war that is going in and wasn't really reported on until recently. So I think he would help show it off in a form of a song
hana i would actually say the millions of chinese muslims in concentration camps is the most inhumane thing atm but ok
anyonymoos kiddo not sure this is an argument worth having- but yea that’s awful i understand
Declan: Eat your beans now!
Me as the blonde girl: No, I'm scared.
GeeGee Way beans are actually pretty scary lmao
I love his ability to turn very tragic subjects into dance music. Makes the world more bearable for me.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Great snakes, are we moving already?
Good gravy, did you say it cost a penny or two for you?
We're talking 'bout the bad starts
My baby brother has already got a gas mask
'Cause it's a good old-fashioned landslide
Killing with your hands tied
In the homemade rope, set sail
Babe, we read it in the Mail, no hope now
[Chorus]
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's good what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
[Verse 2]
Why does it seem a fever dream for all?
The call you made to me
You said I'll feel one day each year, a worry
We shall remember the dead
And we'll remember the dead so they know that we're sorry
But then carry on
Verse 3]
How could it be the money?
It's the vote that matters to me
You say you're hungry, but you won't eat the caraway seed
Doesn't matter in the wreckage, what should you say?
"Well, I found myself a little peckish last Tuesday"
This is what you signed up for, no questions
Reckon we could offer peace, damn the weapons conventions
Well, it's on the table, but it's no good, can't you hear
Bridge]
It's a good old-fashioned landslide
Killing with your hands tied
In the homemade rope, set sail
Babe, we read it in the Mail, no hope now
And it's a total fucking whitewash
The people that we might squash
And move from home soil, set sail
For wherever the fuck got oil this time
And if it's not a fucking war crime
It's a total waste of your time
And getting so much worse
Get real, kid, your country's been at war since birth now
And if it's not a fucking outrage, what's it all about then?
Now, it’s one on one
Great Britain's gonna tell you where it all went wrong and then carry on
Chorus]
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen (Great, great way to fool me again, hun)
Great way to fool me again, hun (Great, acting, it's great what you tell 'em)
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
The lyrics are in the description already
i've been waiting 2 years for new music, and this has made the wait so incredibly worth it.
in blue was a masterpiece too lol
true 😂. i’m just counting releases for his own projects. 💕
Steven Nuckolls :)
Declan Mckenna just cancelled British foreign affairs.
The run in the first “landslide” makes me FEEL
this song perfectly captures the point in growing up when you start to become politically aware, and you realize your country is always at war, and the world is, and you can’t do anything. it’s a really good song though
tHe AlBum
song : let’s drop a new song with a music video to satisfy the hungry fans
Fans : ThIs Is ThE PoWer OF ThE MIGhTy hAw YEE
YASS
I sound a barbaric Hawwwwwwwww Yeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
how can i already love it when its not even released yet?
The awakening of someone politically left. Sitting at the table and watching your family excuse the blights of humanity, gleefully cheer when people die.
Enough to ruin someone's appetite
Except more of the political right is anti-interventionism whereas half the democrats in the United States Congress foam at the mouth at the thought of war.
Eric Rotolo you just wrong. period.

@@jordancantrell6598 Well I'm not going to waste any of my time even trying to arguing with someone as delusional as you so have a nice day
This music video is LITTERALLY one of the best I’ve ever seen, it represents the song and the point of the song so perfectly and it’s just done SO WLL I CANT BELIEVE IT, this is one of my fav route songs ever and the music video was so perfect with all its artistry and symbolism ECT it gave me goosebumps
I just wanna throw some love at the puppet-maker/puppeteers and the animator(s) on this. You all did a fantastic job portraying the feel of the song!
and the detail in having ‘growing lad’ written on the son’s top, damn they thought about it all
I absolutely adore him not only for his musical talent but as a young person trying to use his influence to inspire activism and change...freaking incredible
all hail Queen Declan!
I love that people are saying this is shouting lmao did yall ever have an emo phase
No I didn’t
as an mcr and fob fan, i was surprised to see people commenting about how loud he was singing lol
This is genuinely a really good song. I'm once again thankful for YT recommending me something new and amazing.
hearing how his voice changed made me feel like a nostalgic grandma meeting his grandson again after a very long time
no one:
literally no one:
Declan: heREs A boWL oF BAked beans

sharna smart ok
I wish this meme would go away. See it everywhere
Love your profile Pic 😪
@@Revealingstorm. Same.
Let's be real, this song can be perfectly applied to the US.
I don't think a song like this is as necessary in America. Americans tend to be far more aware of their wars, sure, the US invading places with oil was memed to hell a while ago. The UK still, in the eyes of many, is seen as a peaceful and polite country, even though it's not any better than the US really.
@@honeybee3269 The average person is not aware of the countless war crimes the US has committed. Regardless, I wasn't saying that the US needs it.
@@honeybee3269 Many people are not aware that not only are Britain's weapons in Yemen, but also the United States' weapons. Some don't even know that the so called "weapons of mass destruction" in Afghanistan did not exist and that we attacked the Taliban when Al Qaeda is responsible for 9/11. There are powerful politicians whom support regime change wars over diplomacy: that itself is enough reason for a song like this to be about the US.
@@mangomak1342
Hmm, that's true. Fair enough.
as an American......I absolutely agree
Declan really got me singing to a crisis in Yemen. What a bop. So good
im rlly gonna risk an ass whooping for staying up until 1:30am on a monday night for this
pamela s. it’s 1:30 am too in my city
for me it’s 7:30 ahah
i need an overdose of this song
I love the fact that Declan one literally has no bad songs, and that you can relate to his songs on a political level as well as like a non political level.
declan needs to blow up already, underrated artist of the century
don't worry.....its just the beginning. It takes all the great legends time. Just savor the experience. And be glad that you got to witness the birth of greatness. LOVE YOU.....
It’s a pleasure to hear Declan Screaming with 100% volume in my ears.
Guess Who's Back?
Shady Declan McKenna.
A lot of comments abt the meaning of the song which is great but his voice here has so much power
Shout out to all the growing lads out there
That music video was incredibly done. I’m literally so impressed by the panic and frustration it conveyed to match the song. Great job Declan and others involved
it's a complete MASTERPIECE but what was i expecting - it's Declan
this is the best way to spread awareness on problems. thanks for addressing this, declan
One of my favourite songs of all times, I can´t get tired of it
Doctor: you have 4 minutes to live
Me: I’ll watch Declan McKennas video British Bombs
Doctor: but the video is 5 minutes long
God: I’ll allow it
Surely you'd find it in heaven though
My favorite comment to ever appear on TH-cam
yep.....I am a Jesus Freak and I agree
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER I AM IN LOVE COMPLETELY OMG WTF
as a British afghan i love this song. cant wait to see declan perform.
Declan is for todays youth what The Clash were for the youth of the 70's/80's
yeppers
i’m actually so excited
Me tooooo 🗣️
was the end a reference to the old paracetamol cover ??? was anyone a fan when that was a thing?
R T OMG DEFINITELY IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME
yup
Yeah I thought that too. I think it might be the same person, but I could be wrong.
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING ASDFGHDKSBXNABXOANC
Trump: “we won this election by a landslide”
Me: 🎶 it’s a good old fashioned landslide 🎶
Just noticed something, the house number is 44 (written on the door) and British phone numbers start with +44
What a cool easter egg :,)
I'm listening to Declan McKenna while waiting to listen to Declan McKenna's new song x)
That thumbnail gave me dont hug me I’m scared flashbacks
OMG FR
When I first heard this I didn't really like it all that much. But I keep coming back for some reason... I can't stop listening now.
Same
Declan songs are so refreshing, have such a good flavor and give a diff feelings like if I'm exercising this song gives whole lot energy, if I'm doing chores, I'm dancing and on my own world and if I'm sad, this tells me yes life sucks so go on. Like why is it not heard all over the world I'm surprised. This is a whole jam song.
yes a new political bop from declan was exactly what i needed
oh, what’s this?!
an extremely underrated artist?!
I THINK YES.
Lyrically, musically and vocally a huge step above anything he's done before
This song is also so important in this day and age
And again, to no one's surprise
Declan McKenna I have two words for you
PURE GOLD
We marching on Area 51 blasting this bop of a song y'all!!
Yellow Hooman forget Area 51, storm Parliament! Storm MI5!
STORM THE PARLIAMENT!!😂😂😂😂
We've been blessed with Declan. He's such a great person.
It's refreshing to see a really popular song about a really important modern day issue. Respect to Declan for informing the youth of how our government's morality is obsolete. Oh and it helps the song's a banger.
