Plastic Soldiers

We're not who we say we are We were never in the stories we tell It's just the proud names we took But this is the real skin we choose to wear It's too late for us That ship has sailed it's long gone How can i wait for us When all you know is what you don't want What happened to the people that I thought i know? Who am i to tell them That their hearts are wrong? We are the plastic soldiers In a revolution you can't understand I never hated anyone We are the plastic soldiers You were never my kingdom We were never the same I never begged you for anything I'm not who they say i am And i don't want to hear the loyal songs That they sing It's just my name they took But these are the colours i refuse to wear It's too late for us That ship has sailed it's long gone How can i wait for us When all you know is what you don't want We are the plastic soldiers In a revolution you can't understand I never hated anyone We are the plastic soldiers You were never my kingdom You were never the same I never begged you for anything We're holding on, we're holding on, Alba we're holding on for you What happened to the place that i called my home?
