lyrics

Young man held for questioning -
No Fleet Street affair,
Mother way past worrying,
Father old and square.
He's martyred like St. Stephen
As he drags upon a Winston
In young England.

Chase ideas in the wilderness,
Starve and plot and scheme -
Part of someone's masterplan;
Someone's wildest dream.
Who'll harness the frustration
Where disaffection festers
In Young England?


Bold young brutes with angel faces -
Help is always near.
The eastern world, it is exploding,
But it can't happen here.

Blitzkrieg unexpectedly
When the sky is blue -
Nacht und nebel, third degree
Searchlight shine on you
And though the war continues,
There lives a restless nation
In Young England.

Streets full of bravado,
And times are getting harder
In Young England
