Chorus
Oi! Here’s to the Yanks who’ve gone mad,
Runnin' round shoutin' their good an' their bad!
From suits in the seats to folks in the street,
They’re all dancin’ ‘round to a madman’s beat!
Verse 1
They shout ‘bout freedom, they shout ‘bout rights,
But they’re fightin' each other like dogs in the night!
One says this, an’ the other says that,
Both wearin' blinders an’ talkin' out the hat!
They point their fingers, they wave their signs,
Divided they stand in their rickety lines!
Chorus
Oi! Here’s to the Yanks who’ve gone mad,
Runnin' round shoutin' their good an' their bad!
From suits in the seats to folks in the street,
They’re all dancin’ ‘round to a madman’s beat!
Verse 2
One side’s red an’ the other’s blue,
But they’re all just puppets, ain’t got a clue!
Chasin' a dollar, buyin' the show,
Dancin' for the ones with pockets to blow.
Big men in towers, fillin' their tills,
While down below we’re footin’ the bills!
Chorus
Oi! Here’s to the Yanks who’ve gone mad,
Runnin' round shoutin' their good an' their bad!
From suits in the seats to folks in the street,
They’re all dancin’ ‘round to a madman’s beat!
Bridge
Raise yer glass, don’t play their game!
Laugh at the clowns who don’t know yer name!
Cheers to the ones who shout ‘bout power,
As we drink ‘em down in this bleedin’ hour!
Verse 3
Leaders roarin’ like drunken fools,
Tossin' out lies like golden rules.
An’ we’re all caught in their circus play,
With each one screamin’ “It’s my way or the way!”
But we just laugh, pint in hand,
Cheers to the fools who don’t understand!
Chorus
Oi! Here’s to the Yanks who’ve gone mad,
Runnin' round shoutin' their good an' their bad!
From suits in the seats to folks in the street,
They’re all dancin’ ‘round to a madman’s beat!
Outro
So here’s to the Yanks, an’ here’s to the clowns,
Here’s to the power that’ll bring ‘em down!
We’ll raise our pints, we’ll raise our song,
Cheers to the lot who keep gettin' it wrong!
