Little Boy Soldiers [Live Jam]

Lyrics

Its funny how you never knew what my name was Our only contact was a form for the election These days I find that you don't listen These days I find that we're out of touch These days I find that I'm too busy So why the attention now you want my assistance - What have you done for me You've gone and got yourself in trouble Now you want me to help you out These days I find that I can't be bothered These days I find that its all too much To pick up a gun and shoot a stranger But I've got no choice so here I come - war games I'm up on the hills, playing little boy soldiers Reconnaissance duty up at 5:30 Shoot shoot shoot and kill the natives You're one of us and we love you for that Think of honour, Queen and country You're a blessed son of the British Empire God's on our side and so is Washington Come out on the hills with the little boy soldiers Come on outside - I'll sing you a lullaby Or tell a tale of how goodness prevailed We ruled the world - we killed and robbed The fucking lot - but we don't feel bad It was done beneath the flag of democracy You'll believe and I do - yes I do - yes I do - Yes I do - These days I find that I can't be bothered To argue withthem well what's the point Better to take your shots and drop down dead Then they send you home in a pine overcoat With a letter to your mum Saying find enclosed one son - one medal and a note - To say he won
