Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The war monument is still standing
Between two football fields
With the names of the men that were
Killed on the battle fields
They were center forwards, keepers and backs
They thought they would win
[Verse 2]
It's a family tradition
To play in a football team
I have nephews, dumb, but tall
Who still, fetus, kicked the ball
I've got flat feet and my knees are weak
They all thought it was time to start my JOS days
In my JOS days
[Verse 3]
The last war in this country
The fighting lasted four days
Between the names on this list
I see one name again
He had my age and my first name
He thought he would win like in his JOS days
In his JOS days
[Verse 4]
They had too many boys who wanted to
Be in a team
So in one day, in one match
You had to prove your ability
I was knocked out, a real disgrace
A break with the family tradition in my JOS days
In my JOS days
[Verse 5]
I can live without a finger
And I can live without a toe
But a head is necessary
