Dick Savage - English Arrogance Lyrics

Unfortunately, due to my ignorance, I do not speak a word
It's not just me, it's plain old English arrogance
We can't be arsed to learn because we're so important
We think we're so important wherever we go

I can't see the point in talking in silence - speaking hand gestures
It must seem so rude, but we all just expect it
Everyone should speak our language because we're so important
We think we're so important wherever we go

Well, I talk of a race - I talk of a people, not of the individual
Because I've tried a bit, and I know those still trying
And I know the multilingual. But most don't bother
And it really bothers me, why most don't bother wherever I go
