Oh so young and far from home They only get one life They were told it's just a game There woul dbe no need to fight
Seemed quite real though yesterday When we got blown away By friendly fire
Giving orders from afar They're safe and sound who cares If a few lives are expendable As long as its' not theirs
Wonder would they say the same If they got blown away By friendly fire By friendly fire
Sending back photographs of war I thought you might need some of that To remind you of what it is like To be on the other side of Friendly fire
They turn & look away As if they always knew That all their empty words Can't eclipse the truth - that's okay Even if they'll never take the blame At least put me to rest Give me back my name
I wonder if they'd stillagree To risk their life expectancy If they'd been standing next to me And blown away by friendly fire
