How sad are we?
And how sad have we been?
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
Oh, but only if, you're really interested
You wonder how
We've stayed alive 'till now
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
But only if, you're really interested
We're all smiles
Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles
That make us hostile
Oh
We will descend
On anyone unable to defend
Themselves
Oh
And the songs we sing
They're not supposed to mean a thing
La, la, la, la
Oh
You're lonely
Oh, you're lonely
Oh
Get off the roof!
Oh
Your arsenal!
We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
We are the last truly British people you will ever know
You'll never never want to know
And how sad have we been?
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
Oh, but only if, you're really interested
You wonder how
We've stayed alive 'till now
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
But only if, you're really interested
We're all smiles
Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles
That make us hostile
Oh
We will descend
On anyone unable to defend
Themselves
Oh
And the songs we sing
They're not supposed to mean a thing
La, la, la, la
Oh
You're lonely
Oh, you're lonely
Oh
Get off the roof!
Oh
Your arsenal!
We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
We are the last truly British people you will ever know
You'll never never want to know

Morrissey is so intelligent that when he baits he really uses the best hooks he has. I remember listen to this along with his other solo output around this time [ie: National Front Disco] and just knew he was having a good chuckle at every puritan's expense. So much so that when the fawning NME were continually denied 'his master's voice' they turned like a denied, bitchy girlfriend and slandered him to all who'd listen [ie: Morrissy Is Racist]. This song is just a hate filled, tongue-in-cheek jibe at the 'football crowd'. That is all.
All of Morrissey's 'disciples' DO NOT CARE what negative things are said about him for he can DO NO WRONG.
