Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Last night another soldier)
Last night another child
(No one seems to worry)
No one sees his mother cry
[Verse 2]
Can 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 proud
[Verse 3]
(A job with the future)
His way to get out of it
(It's his sense of romance)
It never ends that way
[Verse 4]
(Last night another soldier)
Last night another child
(No one seems to worry)
No one sees his mother cry
[Verse 5]
(They're just facts and figures)
On your TV screen
(Another child and another soldier)
Is peace just a dream?
[Verse 6]
In the country strange and foreign
All the people resent him
He can't cope with his problems
All of the fears and hatred
[Verse 7]
Now he wish he never went
He wish he never thought of it
It's not the same as fighting armies
Looking for the terrorists
[Verse 8]
(They're just facts and figures)
On your TV screen
(Another child and another soldier)
Is peace just a dream?
[Verse 9]
Can you hear the mocking laughter
From the ones that gain it?
They're not in line for the bullets
They're the ones who started it
[Verse 10]
(They're just facts and figures)
On your TV screen
(Another child and another soldier)
Is peace just a dream?
[Verse 11]
(Last night another soldier)
Last night another child
(Just a number in the papers)
Another one of the innocent
[Verse 12]
(They're just facts and figures)
On your TV screen
(Another child and another soldier)
Is peace just a dream?
[Verse 13]
Last night another soldier
