And the winner is us
But it's not luck that's got us this far
We put in years of hard work and graft
And now the rest of the world holds score cards
They're up, all 10s
This little nation setting these trends
Let's get it trending when I type #TEAMUK and then I press send
Let's put it out for the world to see
I can't believe what I'm seeing on my TV
Man, the UK's smashing it
Dappy's on top of the charts and look at BFMV
And don't laugh, that's amazing
These sounds giving hope to a nation
A statement that we should all keep chasing
We could be the next band to blow, why not? They made it
We had patience and waited for ages
Never lazy, complacent or jaded
When we were faced with
The most daunting of tasks 'cause we all knew that time would come
And I can make mum proud now
No longer am I stuck in the background
Stand up and clap now, take off your hats, wow
'Cause we are not just opening acts
World tours, sold out shows packed
And who would've thought that years back
We're similar to BSE, no one bought British beef
Now everybody wants a piece
But me I like it nice and thick
Cut heavy, just like this next riff
Now let me hear you say TEAMUK
It's like fuck the cliché but trust when we say it's on
Now everybody say TEAMUK
Let's put it out for the world to see,
I can't believe what I'm seeing on my TV
Man, the UK's killing it
Dizzee's had number ones
Now look at Lower Than Atlantis
And don't laugh, that's fantastic
All genres out there smashing it
A statement we should all keep chasing
We could be the next band to blow, why not? They made it
Oi Ant man, you remember when we were like thirteen?
Yeah
It was all a dream, I used to read Metal Hammer magazine
Yeah, and I would sit there and daydream for ages
About being in the pages, and main stages, amazing
We had the Nation debating the basics
Of if, how and why we could make it for ages
More than patiently waited
And though it's blatant now
We had to shake off a typical British cloud for ratings
Years under pressure
That was like must do better than BOOM!
UK music blew again
And now the whole world knows it's 10 out of 10
Now let me hear you say TEAMUK
It's like fuck the cliché but trust when we say it's on
Now everybody say TEAMUK
We had patience and waited for ages
Never lazy, complacent or jaded
When we were faced with
The most daunting of tasks 'cause we all knew that time would come
And I can make mum proud now
No longer am I stuck in the background
Stand up and clap now, take off your hats, wow
'Cause we are not just opening acts
World tours, sold out shows packed
And who would've thought that years back
We're similar to BSE, no one bought British beef
Now everybody wants a piece,
And me I like it nice and thick,
(Cut heavy) I'm sick
(Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick)
Now let me hear you say TEAMUK
Some people dream of success
Others wake up early and work damn hard for it
