1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 never met him and that’s lucky for him
the future’s not Orange the future is grim.
the future is franchise, the future is spin
the future is sterile, I’m not fitting in.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 the future is customer, client not fan
the future is sit down or else you’ll be banned
the future is price rise, again and again
draining my pocket and testing my brain.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 the future is howdee have a nice day
the future’s the megastore trippers this way
the future is selling before we can buy
the future is Malcolm and bleeding us dry.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 the future’s the Glazers or so I’ve been told
an executive seat and a ticket of gold
prawn sandwiches, oysters, a nice drop of wine
keeping the working man standing in line.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 well that future’s a fable, a tissue of lies
the fight isn’t over and i’ll tell you why
the people the length and the breadth of this land
who follow United and WILL make a stand.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 who will not be be pushed out, bullied or sold
who won’t quit or be bought by a fool and his gold
who have heart and desire, passion and pride
a love for United, we don’t try to hide.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 did you think we’d roll over and lie on our back
do as you tell us and never fight back?
this is our club, our love and our pride
something your dollars can never divide.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 we won’t buy your merchandise, programmes or beer
