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 |
|
By friendly fire |
