[Verse 1]
Union Jack is back with a hole in his head
He's getting badly burned every time
He's laughing at me and dancing on my sneakers
And his sixties songs are blowing up my speakers
[Chorus 1]
I say, "You got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come crying to me"
[Chorus 2]
Hit and run
Hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run
[Verse 2]
The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad
And the whole damn world is really laughing mad
[Chorus 1]
I say, "You got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come crying to me"
[Chorus 2]
Hit and run
Hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run
[Bridge]
Hit it, oh yeah
Oh, bring it down
Oh, you bring it down
[Verse 3]
I say you ain't got no respect
I say you ain't got no respect
No you ain't got no respect
And you hit me when I'm down
[Chorus 2]
Hit and run
Hit and run
It's just a hit and run
I said it's just another hit and run
[Outro]
Oh yeah, hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
It's just another hit and run
Hit and run
Union Jack is back with a hole in his head
He's getting badly burned every time
He's laughing at me and dancing on my sneakers
And his sixties songs are blowing up my speakers
[Chorus 1]
I say, "You got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come crying to me"
[Chorus 2]
Hit and run
Hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run
[Verse 2]
The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad
And the whole damn world is really laughing mad
[Chorus 1]
I say, "You got no respect

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
Hit it, oh yeah
Oh, bring it down
Oh, you bring it down

I say you ain't got no respect
I say you ain't got no respect
No you ain't got no respect
And you hit me when I'm down
