Spirit of the Falklands New Model Army

[Verse 1]
The natives are restless tonight, sir
Cooped up on estates with no hope in sight
They need some kind of distraction
We can give them that

[Verse 2]
'Cause they'd die if they only had something to die for
They'd kill if they only had something to kill for
They'd cheer if they only had something to cheer for
We can give them that

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So it's off to war we go (I never believed it)
Bring out all the flags (I never believed it)
Fight the good fight

[Verse 3]
It's working like a dream, sir
Half the nation are hooked on the bait
Waiting for the next victorious installment
We can give them that

[Verse 4]
'Cause it's no surprise that young men are heroes
It's no surprise that young men are strong
It's no surprise that young men are foolish
We've known that all along
