Gunshots shatter in the peace of night just another firefight
For the people of this little town
But for the dying soldier he was feeling ten years older
And he´s lying face down on the ground
All the words that are in his head and all the words his mother saidAs she would put him to bed back home
Chorus: Your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man´s cause
And your brother he was killed in the last war
Now yonr mother well she´s lying at home alone
Everyday she sees yor face on the picture on the fireplace
With your brother as he was leaving school
Then a day came 5 years ago you said "Mother I need to know"
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
I´ve seen the things my daddy´s done and I´ve seen the medals that he´swon
And I know this is what he would have wanted for me - for me
Chorus:
Break: Now she wonders at it all
Just in his name dippies break and heroes fall
And how many more are going to answer the call
They gonna fight, fight and die in another countries war
They gonna die for a religion they never believed in at all
They gonna die in a place they should have never been at all
No never been at all
