Warrior in Woolworths Lyrics
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
[Verse 1]
Warrior in Woolworth's
Humble he may seem
Behind his serville innocence
He plots and he schemes
[Chorus]
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
[Verse 2]
Warrior in Woolworth's
His roots are in today
Doesn't know no history
He threw the past away
[Chorus]
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
[Sax Solo]
[Chorus]
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
[Verse 3]
Warrior in Woolworth's
Dips on Friday nights
Youths meet at Stockwell tube
Weapons rule their lives
[Chorus]
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
[Sax Solo]
[Chorus]
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
Warrior in Woolworth's
Humble he may seem
Behind his serville innocence
He plots and he schemes
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
Warrior in Woolworth's
His roots are in today
Doesn't know no history
He threw the past away
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
Warrior in Woolworth's
Dips on Friday nights
Youths meet at Stockwell tube
Weapons rule their lives
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warri-, warrior

Right now I can't get enough of this and Oh Bondage Up Yours, X-Ray Spex rock!
It's about the February 1, 1960 sit in at the Woolworth's in Greensboro, North Carolina and the civil rights movement in general. I believe the "underground" is a reference to the Underground Railroad.
@VerbalVeNom Wrong, it's about Woolworths (no apostraphe) - a former retail chain in the UK. "Underground" refers to London Underground, of which Stockwell tube station is a part of ("Youths meet at Stockwell tube"). In short the song is actually mocking suburban teenagers who see themselves as subversive rebels.
