Bang there goes another boy gone,
Mere child of just fourteen,
Signed up for queen and country
You didn’t expect what you would see.
Propaganda used to drag you in,
There’s no way that you could win,
All your chums are diving for the floor,
You pray to god no more.
What you gonna do,
Don’t pretend its something new,
All the kids are going to war, tell me how many more.
What you gonna do,
Don’t pretend its something new,
All the kids are going to war,
But they don’t wanna fight no more.
Today’s the day of rest,
Meant for your Sunday best,
So light a candle for the past,
Well this could be your last so.
What you gonna do,
Don’t pretend its something new,
All the kids are going to war,
In God’s name how many more.
What you gonna do,
Don’t pretend its something new,
All the kids are going to war,
But they don’t wanna fight no more
You’ll hear the whistle blow,
Then over the top you go,
You’ll say your last goodbyes then,
I’ll see you on the other side.
