Another Man`s Cause Lyrics

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

CHORUS
