Chearing crowds with smiling eyes
Watching the soldiers marching by
Then skeak home pray you 'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go
The politicians wanted war
They waived the flag like they did before
They called on youth and the National Pride
The same old story, the same old lies
Chorus:
How sleep the brave, how sleep the few
Are they silent for all time, or are they calling out to you?
Tell me I have to know, how sleep the brave
Are they silent for all time, or cry for vengeance from their grave?
Now in a corner of a foreign field
Where brave men fought and would not wield
Lie the bodies of gallant men
Who fought in the trenches to the bitter end
The politicians wanted war
They waived the flag like they did before
They called on youth and the National Pride
The same old story, the same old lies
Chorus
Chearing crowds with smiling eyes
Watching the soldiers marching by
Then skeak home pray you 'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go
Chorus(x2)
Watching the soldiers marching by
Then skeak home pray you 'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go
The politicians wanted war
They waived the flag like they did before
They called on youth and the National Pride
The same old story, the same old lies
Chorus:
How sleep the brave, how sleep the few
Are they silent for all time, or are they calling out to you?
Tell me I have to know, how sleep the brave
Are they silent for all time, or cry for vengeance from their grave?
Now in a corner of a foreign field
Where brave men fought and would not wield
Lie the bodies of gallant men
Who fought in the trenches to the bitter end
The politicians wanted war
They waived the flag like they did before
They called on youth and the National Pride
The same old story, the same old lies
Chorus
Chearing crowds with smiling eyes
Watching the soldiers marching by
Then skeak home pray you 'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go
Chorus(x2)
