The song refers to Falklands Conflict, a ten-week war between Argentina and the United Kingdom over two British overseas territories in the South Atlantic: the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Orders from the iron maiden, "Get the islands back"
Failure will not be accepted, call for artillery strike, launch attack
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Orders from the iron maiden, "Get the islands back"
Failure will not be accepted, call for artillery strike, launch attack
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
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
Whooooooooaa!
[Chorus]
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
