Last night another soldier, last night another child
|
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry
|
|
Can you see that smart, clean soldier,
|
Standing straight and oh so proud
|
He wants to fight for Queen and country
|
He wants to make his family proud
|
|
A job with the future, his way to get out of it
|
It's his sense of romance, it never ends that way
|
Last night another soldier, last night another child
|
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry
|
|
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
|
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream
|
|
In the country strange and foreign all the people resent him
|
He can't cope with his problems, all the fears and hatred
|
|
Now he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it
|
It's not the same as fighting armies looking for the terrorists
|
|
They're just facts and figures...
|
|
Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it
|
They're not in line for the bullets, they're the ones who started it
|
|
They're just facts and figures...
|
|
Last night another soldier, last night another child
|
Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocent
|
|
They're just facts and figures..
