There's a gang I've just joined

There's a gang I've just joined

Three million strong you'd agree

Four million strong you'd agree

Enrollment was easy, so easy

Getting out proves to be the difficulty


From Land's End to John O'Groats

From Land's End to John O'Groats

They are making ends meet

Mending holes in their coat

Fasting and feasting on bread and margarine

Burning dreams build upon buried hopes


United Kingdom - you'd better ring them

You've a solution - you better bring them

United Kingdom - United Kingdom

You've a solution - you better bring them


Opportunity, I guess they all came and went

Finding it hard

Finding the rent you'll find it funny

With your finger running down

Situations vacant

In school he was an athlete

Now he's not so self-assured

"After all of these O-levels is this my reward?"

There's a silent majority, that's seen and

never heard from Charles I, Charles II

To Charles III


United Kingdom - you'd better ring them

You've a solution - you better bring them

United Kingdom - United Kingdom


This busted, rusted, upper-crusted

Bankrupted done and dusted

No-man-to-be-trusted United Kingdom


Proud to stand beneath the Union Jack?

Happy dealing up a no ace pack?

Polishing black boots

Priming the riot squad

There go I but for the grace of God

Covering up the agony with mindless entertainment

You'll be happy when they're ripping up the pavement

Bringing down the axe on steelworks and foundries

Someone said love knows no boundaries

Close your eyes and think of England

Lie back and think of her


United Kingdom - you better ring them

You've a solution - you better bring them
