lyrics

There's an old man over there and he's sitting on his own
He's just been to war and he's left without a home
He doesn't understand why things worked out this way
He's just been to war and it's a price you have to pay

He didn't want to go but he was very young
And national service came around and gave him a brand new gun
They taught him how to kill and take other lives of men
He swears if there's another war he'll never fight again

He's only just realised that there were better things to do
Than watch other people dying he wished that he'd died too
But now he has no arms and legs and no one speaks to him
And he can hardly move at all a muscle or a limb

Visions in his head flash back of bodies on the ground
Mutilated shot or gassed bodies all round
Why did he have to go? Well he isn't really sure
If he could talk he'd tell you to keep away from war

And now he screams in his head
I don't want to go to war I don't want to go to war
I don't even know what I am fighting for

I don't want to go to war I don't want to go to war
Just another forgotten hero lying on the ground

Ska Punk as good as it gets. Other bands would benefit from taking notes. Culture Shock is relevant as always with the contemporary lyrics, and the music will force you to nod in rhythm whether you want to or not. Droote
