STING - BLACK AND WHITE ARMY Lyrics

Work up early this morning and I jumped out of bedI didn’t have to wear my work clothesI put on this shirt insteadIt’s a black and white jersey, it’s a thing I couldn’t hide‘Cos it’s almost a religion and I wear it with some prideNow the streets are all empty in this little town of mineI was born to make this journey like the ships outsideI’ve got my ticket to London, and a little bit of cashI’ve got this black and white jersey nice and clean for the match..Now tell me, why is the whole world staring?Must be the shirt I’m wearingBlack and white armyBringing the pride back home (we’ll be)Bringing the pride back homeBringing the pride back homeBlack and white armyIt’s been a long hard season, been a long hard yearAnd they’re telling us that we’re luckySo lucky, to be hereBut if we all stand together and hold our heads up highWe will raise up our voices and tell it to the skyThis time they can’t deny usThis time they won’t get by usBlack and white armyBringing the pride back home (we’ll be)Bringing the pride back homeBringing the pride back homeBlack and white armyYou’ll never understand us if you thought that we’d give up‘Cos it’s more than just a game,And it’s more than just a cup‘Cos we’re marching the length of EnglandAnd I wouldn’t tell no lieI’ll wear this black and white jersey 'til the day I dieNow tell me, why is the whole world staring?Must be the shirt I’m wearingBlack and white armyBringing the pride back home (we’ll be)Bringing the pride back homeBringing the pride back homeBlack and white army
