[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
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

[Chorus]
Under this flag
We're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave
And there's no way back

[Bridge]
We are the obeyer
We are the law
In stained boots
And navy blue
Hello hello hello
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
Under this flag
We're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave
And there's no way back

[Bridge]
We are the obeyer
We are the law
In stained boots
And navy blue
Hello hello hello

[Verse 4 reprise]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Here are your hopes for a future you'll see
You're like me
We're all Union Jacks
