last night another soldier

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
Its 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
Theyre 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 cant cope with his problems, all the fears and hatred
Now he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it
Its not the same as fighting armies looking for the terrorists
Theyre just facts and figures...
Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it
Theyre not in line for the bullets, theyre the ones who started it
Theyre just facts and figures...
Last night another soldier, last night another child
Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocent
Theyre just facts and figures..
