I Was A Soldier Alive In The War,
Watching My Friend Drift Away,
We Lost Millions But Evened The Score
Everything's Falling Away.
We Danced On The Barbed Wire
And Charged Through The Crops
The Borders Had Tightened Around,
Hey We Pulled Our Resources Until We
Had Dropped Kissing The Blood On The Ground.
Well We All Run For Our Lives,
Clutching At Straws, The Sand In Our Eyes,
Yes We All Run For Our Lives,
Who Can Deny A Will To Survive.
An Old Man In Winter Is Starving To Death,
Hoarding His Coppers Away
Hey He Pays For Cremation,
We Lay Him To Rest,
A Servant Of War Slips Away.
Who Goes There - All The Hierararchy,
Do They Care - What We Want To Do.
Well We All Run For Our Lives,
Clutching At Straws, The Sand In Our Eyes,
Yes We All Run For Our Lives,
Who Can Deny A Will To Survive.
He Was A General Who Died In The War,
Shouting His Orders All Day,
He Laughed At The Starving He'd Murdered Before,
A Private Just Blew Him Away
