No!

I can't remember why the war started here

But the bombs keep on falling, year after year

The soldiers, they charge bravely into the fight

But the incoming bombardment buries them alive

A lost generation dies by gunshot to the head

A forward advance over mountains of the dead

An outstretched hand reaching up through the wire

Can't hear the screams through the endless shellfire

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Yeah!

We obey our leaders when they order the attack

With our honor and our glory, we live among the rats

The warriors, so valiant, drowning in mud

And forever these fields will be stained with blood

Oh

Every single day, the barrage raining down

Nothing I can hear, but the horrible sound

No!

(Incoming!)

A lost generation dies by gunshot to the head

A forward advance over mountains of the dead

An unseen hand, the voice of the liar

Will bury the world under endless shellfire

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Shellfire!

I'm cast aside now that I've played my part

I lie in the street, I beg not to starve

I'm crippled, disfigured, you just look away

The war you forgot, the price I have paid
