III

[Verse 1: David Gunn]

Oh, so it goes... the poor lie in a ditch hugging rifles for the rich

Oh, save for this mental image bliss I'm penniless, so it goes

[Verse 2: David Gunn]

Dearest STOP

If my words haven’t been the sincerest

The papers been calling us fearless and you know I'm scared as hell

Soldier STOP

Remember how we said "Until it's over."

The children are just growing older, and you know

I’m scared as hell

[Bridge: David Gunn]

Oh

No

[Verse 3: David Gunn]

Soldier STOP

Ive been maimed of bad health

My will has stormed out the front door with our wealth

I've grown close to your gun on our shelf

I'm thinking of turning it on myself

And I'll wait for you up there

For as long as you need

I swear

[Verse 4: David Gunn]

Remember when we'd swim in it, lay in it, play in it?

Now its so scarce we can't even bathe in it

I see the enemy coming over hills for it

The man put a gun in my hand

And now I kill for it

Darling don't give this up

Soldier, remember what you would say?

You couldn't put a price

On how much you would pay

Why is it every man in this city can lay a price on my body several times a day?
