This song is only available on the "Your Arsenal" album which doesn't include lyrics. They are transcribed here without permission, as they are heard.

David, the wind blows
The wind blows
Bits of your life away
Your friends all say
"Where is our boy?
Ah, we've lost our boy"
But they should know
Where you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
That you're going to...
Going to...
"England for the English"
"England for the English"

David, the wind's blown
The wind's blown
All of my dreams away
And I still say
"Where is our boy?
Ah, we've lost our boy" ¹
But I should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained

You've gone to the National
To the National
There's a country
You don't live there
But one day you would like to
And if you show them what you're made of
Ah, then you might do ²

But David, we wonder
We wonder if the thunder
Is ever really gonna begin
Begin
Begin
Your mum says
"I've lost my boy"
But she should know
Why you've gone ³
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the National
To the National
To the National Front disco ⁴
Because you want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
When you've settled the score ⁵

Ah, the National
Ah, the National
Ah, the National
Ah, the National
Ah, the National

⁴ On most of the Your Arsenal tour, as heard on the live album "Beethoven Was Deaf", as well as on the 1995, 2006 and 2007-2008 tours, Morrissey sang "to the National" and didn't add the expected "... Front disco".
