John Waite 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 shall I admire in this game that we play I wanna be somebody someday, living my life away But 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, a knify blue, hello, hello, hello With fire in my heart and you along beside me, we'll burn down all the schools The torment and nothing better than to live by all the rules Made by the rules ain't classes so The scales are just as stiff, and the flavor of the growin' mart ] (repeats 2x) 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 You're like me, we're all Union Jacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
