The Jam - All Around The World

Oi!
All over the country
(We want a new direction)
I said all over this land
(We need a reaction)
Well there should be a youth explosion
(Inflate creation)
But something we can command
What's the point in saying destroy
I want a new life for everywhere
We want a direction
(All over the country)
I want a direction
(All over this land)
Because this is your last chance
You can't dismiss what is gone before
But there's foundations for us to explore
I said -
All around the world I've been looking for new -
Youth explosion!
A new direction -
We want a reaction -
Inflate creation -
Looking for new!
Oi!
