Back In Control Lyrics
Sent to the islands to secure what is ours
Marching ashore in the cover of night
Hide until dawn and attack in the twilight
Shake them awake with the thunder of guns
Orders from the iron maiden, get the islands back
Failure will not be accepted, call for artillery strike, launch attack
We are Back in control, force them to surrender
Take what is ours, restore law and order
Back in control, push them further out to sea
Falklands in our hands, back under British reign
Push them back further and out from the islands
Into our fleet that will stop their retreat
Mark their positions and call in the airforce
Harriers and Vulcans strikes at our command
Marching ashore in the cover of night
Hide until dawn and attack in the twilight
Shake them awake with the thunder of guns
Failure will not be accepted, call for artillery strike, launch attack
Take what is ours, restore law and order
Back in control, push them further out to sea
Falklands in our hands, back under British reign
Into our fleet that will stop their retreat
Mark their positions and call in the airforce
Harriers and Vulcans strikes at our command

About the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in 1982.
Still not sure if they do take a side on the conflict or if they just tell the story...
