We came from the far north summered in Crimea
Deserted the armed forces had to disappear
Made it to the free west on a chartered flight
So we could see what we trained to fight
We were in London, let's do it, let's break the law!
We were in London, tell it like it is
We were in London, tell it like it is
We were in London
Looking for hard work or credit card fraud
What do you expect from us, we come from abroad?
To get ourselves a new job on a building-site
They work you so hard but we trained to fight
We were in London, let's do it, let's break the law!
We were in London, tell it like it is
We were in London, let's do it, let's break the law!
We were in London, tell it like it is
Tell it like it is
My father fought in Afghanistan
His widow's pension ain't worth a damn
My mother works and goes home to cry
I want to live before I die
We were in London, let's do it, let's break the law!
We were in London, tell it like it is
We were in London, let's do it, let's break the law!
We were in London, tell it like it is
Tell it like it is, tell it like it is
We were in London, tell it like, tell it like it is
