John Waite - Union Jack lyrics

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
