Last night another soldier, last night another child   No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry      Can you see that smart, clean soldier,   Standing straight and oh so proud   He wants to fight for Queen and country    He wants to make his family proud      A job with the future, his way to get out of it   It's his sense of romance, it never ends that way   Last night another soldier, last night another child   No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry      They're just facts and figures on your TV screen   Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream      In the country strange and foreign all the people resent him   He can't cope with his problems, all the fears and hatred      Now he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it   It's not the same as fighting armies looking for the terrorists      They're just facts and figures...      Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it    They're not in line for the bullets, they're the ones who started it      They're just facts and figures...      Last night another soldier, last night another child   Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocent      They're just facts and figures..
