Should change National Anthem Lyrics ?
I know it's an old argument, but clearly most England footballers don't passionately believe in the monarchy, I know I couldn't sing those words with a camera inches from my gob.
less face it most of them are from Working Class backgrounds, So could we just change the lyrics to God Save The Working Class, Hope I get a goal and make a glorious pass Etc |

I bet most aren't religious either, so singing about God doesn't sit comfortably as well as singing about the monarchy.

They are not working class, the vast majority are "chav" class.

At least our anthem is short, unlike some others in this World Cup.

They shouldn't just change the words they should change the tune, it's a dirge, it should be something more uplifting like the Italian, French, German and American anthems.

Taking the controversial religious side of the anthem out would be nice too.

Wish we'd use that, such a great tune and also it's actually about England unlike the dirge we currently use. |

But I (and others) commented on this here so I won't repeat myself. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1972428 Has GSTQ(K) ever been the English national anthem? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_anthem_of_England |

It'll change one day. It will be King instead of Queen. Unless we have a revolution first

In the theme of god save our queen....
Allah save our gracious Queen. Atheists save our English republic dream. God save our world cup dream. Send us Victorious. Lets beat the Germans by the end of this choooorus. Long to watch over us. our 1966 world cup team. or If we really wanted to get up our opponents noses. You're country was probably one ruled by our Queen. now you're treasonist ways are going to be punished by our team. Falklands save our Queen. Send African teams Victorious. Because we pillaged them for many years and became rather prosperous. We burnt down the white house once. The Scots crave our team. |

Hardcore techno or death metal is the way to go. Get the adrenaline up!
