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
