union jack

missin' at school

bustin' the rules

hates everything in sight

needs some new shoes

dad's on the booze

she's never there

far away kid

all on his own

can't tell the wrong from right

thin as a rake

tough as a nail tonight

tonight

here are your hopes for the future you'll see

if you hang 'round the neck of a loser like me

there's no one else in your life

you don't need anyone

come with me in the night

i will give you the matches

i will make you complete

won't you please come with me

i won't ask you again

i can give you the hopes of a younger man

in the night we can hear

i'm your friend and what's more

i will give you what you've been looking for

yes i can give you what you've been looking for

should i run

should i take it

should i go or should i stay?

who side am i on in this game that we play

i wanna be somebody someday

living my life away

and i can't find a job

i can't pay the rent

police are always breathing down my neck

and there's no way out

there's no way out no more

under this flag

we're all union jacks

and there's no home for the brave

and there's no way back

we are the obeyer

we are the law

in stained boots

and navy blue

hello hello hello

with fire in my heart and you along beside me

we'll burn down all the schools

that taught us there's nothing better than

to live by all the rules

made by the ruling classes

so the scales of justice tip

in the favor of the government

under this flag

we're all union jacks

and there's no home for the brave

and there's no way back

we are the obeyer

we are the law

in stained boots

and navy blue

hello hello hello

with fire in my heart and you along beside me

we'll burn down all the schools

that taught us there's nothing better than

to live by all the rules

made by the ruling classes

so the scales of justice tip

in the favor of the government

under this flag

we're all union jacks

and there's no home for the brave

and there's no way back

under this flag

we're all union jacks

and there's no home for the brave

and there's no way back

tonight

here are your hopes for a future you'll see

you're like me

we're all union jacks!
