I met a stranger on the tube today 
Saw all the people as they turned their heads away 
Kept my mouth shut; didn't know what I should say 
But I doubt it would've mattered anyway 

She was dressed up in red, white and blue 
A bag on her back that she kept fumbling through 
It was full of badges, flags and the posters that she drew 
And I honestly could not think what to do 

The silence in the dark there 
Stalled the beating of my heart 
She'd come to brag 
If they wave that flag 
They shall not pass 

She wore proudly a cap on her head 
That she kept removing to admire what it said 
A bloody red colour and stitched in silver thread 
The words she lives by: Let's Make Britain Great Again 

She had a UKIP badge in her lapel 
A "Free Tommy!" placard and a flag to match as well 
A racist rhetoric in merchandise to sell 
Yeah, she'll fight to spring her prophet from his cell 

A stranger on a train 
Is spreading hatred once again 
Please mind the gap 
If they wave that flag 
They shall not pass 

I asked her quietly what she believed 
She said, "We march today to set our country free
They're coming over hear to steal from you and me
Yeah, we need to get this filth off of our streets" 

I looked around the people on the train 
The different colours, creeds and classes, all afraid 
Just to speak out against one stranger spreading hate 
On the doorstep of the home that they have made 

Stuck there underground 
And all too frightened to speak out 
To voice the facts 
If they wave that flag 
They shall not pass 

She got off at Westminster to join the crowds 
The ranks assembled made their way through London town 
Marched to Trafalgar Square with Nelson looking down 
On the mass of Union flags upon the ground 

Well, they wear my flag but they don't speak for me 
I will not buy into their ideology 
'Cause when the fascists come to set my country free 
Well, that is not a sight that I am proud to see 

So stand and raise your fist 
Just like in nineteen thirty six 
We will fight back 
If they wave that flag 

We'll voice the facts 
If they wave that flag 

Please mind the gap 
If they wave that flag 
They shall not pass
