Gunshots shatter the peace of night it's just another fire fight for the
people of this little town but for the dying soldier well, he's feeling
ten years older as he's lying face down on the ground all the words that
are in his head are all the words his mother said as 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 your mother's , well she's lying home alone
Every day
she sees your face on the picture on the fireplace with your brother as
he was leaving school then a day came five 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's won and i know this is what he would have wanted-for
me" but
CHORUS
Now she wonders at it all Just in his
name did he break, your heroes fall And how many more are gonna answer the
call They’re gonna fight, fight and die in another country’s
war They’re gonna die for religion, they didn’t believe in at
all They’re gonna die in a place, they should never been at
all Oh, never been at all ’Cos
