The disco's over and the bar is shut
At christening, birthday, wedding or wake
What can we sing 'til the morning breaks

And a minister said his vision of hell
Is three folk singers in a pub near Wales
Well, I've got a vision of urban sprawl
There's pubs where no-one ever sings at all

And everyone stares at a great big screen

And we oughta be ashamed of all we walk
Of the way we look, at the way we talk
Without our stories or our songs

 
How will we know where we come from?
I've lost St. George and the Union Jack
That's my flag too and I want it back
