What Our Boys Are Fighting For
Today is the day that I die
For my motherland
In a faraway place
I know that the battle will be won
By the brave and the strong
By the brave and the strong
I'll lace up my boots
Put on my uniform
And we'll unfurl the flag
We'll fight and die under it's shade
We will fight them in the air
We'll fight them on the beaches
In the streets
We'll fight them anywhere
In the shade of the Union Jack
We'll go forward and we won't ever look back
Today is the day I die
For my motherland
In a faraway place
We traveled hundreds of miles
Come along away from home
For the battle today
I'll lace up my boots
Put on my uniform
And we'll unfurl the flag
We'll fight and die under its shade
We will fight them in the bars
We'll fight them on the picture
In the seats
We'll fight them anywhere
In the shade of the Union Jack
We'll go forward and we won't ever look back
Joe fell at the hands of the hung
Just about at halftime
In a terrible seat
The frogs dealt with Kevin it seems
While he was having a hit
But we'll have our revenge
Hip oligarchy
Insults the British flag
We'll lay into them
We'll teach them how the English fight
We're proud to be another British army
White like the other one
But not so well-paid
In the shade of the Union Jack
We'll go forward and we won't ever...
In the shade of the Union Jack
We'll go forward and we won't ever look back
For my motherland
In a faraway place
I know that the battle will be won
By the brave and the strong
By the brave and the strong
I'll lace up my boots
Put on my uniform
And we'll unfurl the flag
We'll fight and die under it's shade
We will fight them in the air
We'll fight them on the beaches
In the streets
We'll fight them anywhere
In the shade of the Union Jack
We'll go forward and we won't ever look back
Today is the day I die
For my motherland
In a faraway place
We traveled hundreds of miles
Come along away from home
For the battle today
I'll lace up my boots
Put on my uniform
And we'll unfurl the flag
We'll fight and die under its shade
We will fight them in the bars
We'll fight them on the picture
In the seats
We'll fight them anywhere
In the shade of the Union Jack
We'll go forward and we won't ever look back
Joe fell at the hands of the hung
Just about at halftime
In a terrible seat
The frogs dealt with Kevin it seems
While he was having a hit
But we'll have our revenge
Hip oligarchy
Insults the British flag
We'll lay into them
We'll teach them how the English fight
We're proud to be another British army
White like the other one
But not so well-paid
In the shade of the Union Jack
We'll go forward and we won't ever...
In the shade of the Union Jack
We'll go forward and we won't ever look back
