The Babys - 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 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 a 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 go
I'm your friend and what's more
I can 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
Whose side am I on in this game that we play
I wanna be somebody, someday
Living my life away
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 'old bill', we are the law
In standard boots and navy blue
Ello, ello, ello

With fire in my heart and you alone beside me
We'll burn down all the schools
That taught us nothing better than
To live by all the rules
Made by the ruling classes so
The scales of justice tip
In the favour 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 'old bill' we are the law
In standard boots and navy blue
Ello, ello, ello

With fire in my heart and you alone beside me
We'll burn down all the schools
That taught us nothing better than
To live by all the rules
Made by the ruling classes so
The scales of justice tip
In the favour 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 the future you'll see
Your like me
We're all Union Jacks
