Sting - Black And White Army (bringing The Pride Back Home) lyrics

Work up early this morning and I jumped out of bed I didn't have to wear my work clothes, I put on this shirt instead It'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 pride Now the streets are all empty in this little town of mine I was born to make this journey like the ships outside I've got my ticket to London, and a little bit of cash I'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 wearing Black and white army Bringing the pride back home, we'll be Bringing the pride back home Bringing the pride back home Black and white army It's been a long hard season, been a long hard year And they're telling us that we're lucky, so lucky, to be here But if we all stand together and hold our heads up high We will raise up our voices and tell it to the sky This time they can't deny us This time they won't get by us Black and white army Bringing the pride back home, we'll be Bringing the pride back home Bringing the pride back home Black and white army You'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 England and I wouldn't tell no lie I'll wear this black and white jersey till the day I die --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
