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 want to 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
