A soldier cut loose in Saigon   He used to be a farmer just like anyone   A soldier cut loose in Saigon   Even to his father he's a violent son      Someone built a wall in Berlin   Not to keep them out but to keep them in   Someone built a wall in Berlin   A permanent reminder of what's happening      CHORUS   We need a lot of love   Got to take a lot of pain   You can watch the river flood   But get washed away the same   Oh we know that things don't last   So we use the guiding tracks   Through the deadly ring of flame      Smoking in a room in Lebanon   The hotels serving but the hospital's gone   Choking in a room in Lebanon   Many people hurting still the telephones on      Standing on a street in Belfast   A city of division widow in black   Standing on a street in Belfast   Crunching of the feet on the broken glass      CHORUS   We need a lot of love   Got to take a lot of pain   You can watch the river flood   But get washed away the same   Oh we know that things don't last   So we use the guiding tracks   Through the deadly ring of flame      Repeat Chorus
