We came from the far north, summered in Crimea
C EmDeserted the armed forces, had to disappear
C EmMade it to the free West on a charted flight
So we could see what we trained to fight
We were in London, let’s do it - let’s break the law
F Em Dm GWe were in London, tell it like it is
F Em Dm GWe were in London, tell it like it is
We were in London
Looking for hard work or credit card fraud
What did you expect from us? We came 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
Am Em/B Dm
My father fought in Afghanistan
His widow’s pension ain’t worth a ***
Em/B DmMy mother works and goes home to cry
GI 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
