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 there¹s 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 there¹s 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
