Yours and Mine Lyrics

I can see a boy of fourteen
He's got a rifle in his hand
He's dying to defend his desert landHe's got an arm around his father
Another arm around his gun
Must the child in the father die so young?There's a teenage girl in Belfast
Playing in the street
Her brother plays a different game and he's turning up the heatOn the soldiers around the corner
And the powers overseas
And who are they to ruin lives like these?Cause they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
Cause they're yours and they're mine
Yours and mineSo you think that it's so easy
Just to let I pass you by
You watch T.V. and pretend it's all a lieBut you know there is no Third World
It happens to us all
There's just one world and the kids are the first to fallAnd they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
And they're yours and they're mine

They're yours and mine
They're yours and they're mine
Yours and mineAnd she raised him for something
Better than a bullet
He's a every mother's sonAnd she raised him for something
Better than a bullet
He's a every mother's sonAnd she raised him for something
Better than a bullet
He's a every mother's sonHis life's hanging from a trigger
I won't to pull itCause they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
Cause they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
Cause they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
Cause they're yours and they're mine
Yours and mine
