Last Night Another Soldier Lyrics

Last night another soldier, last night another child
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cryCan you see that smart, clean soldier,
Standing straight and oh so proud
He wants to fight for Queen and country
He wants to make his family proudA job with the future, his way to get out of it
It's his sense of romance, it never ends that way
Last night another soldier, last night another child
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cryThey're just facts and figures on your TV screen
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dreamIn the country strange and foreign all the people resent him
He can't cope with his problems, all the fears and hatredNow he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it
It's not the same as fighting armies looking for the terroristsThey're just facts and figures...Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it
They're not in line for the bullets, they're the ones who started itThey're just facts and figures...Last night another soldier, last night another child
Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocentThey're just facts and figures..
