Union Jack
John Waite

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 theres 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 theres 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
