Gunshots shatter in the peace of night   Just another fire fight   For the people of this little town   But for the dying soldier      Well, he's feeling ten years older   As he's lying face down on the ground   All the words that are in his head   And all the words his mother said   As she would put him to bed back home      Your daddy well, he died in the Falklands   Fighting for another man's cause   And your brother, he was killed in the Last War   And your mother well, she's lying home alone      Every day she sees your face   On the picture on the fireplace   With your brother, as he was leaving school   Then a day came five years ago      You said, "Mother, I need to know"   And you spoke the words, your brother spoke before   "I seen the things my Daddy's done   And I've seen the medals Daddy's won   And I know that this is what he would have wanted for me"      But, your daddy well, he died in the Falklands   Fighting for another man's cause   And your brother, he was killed in the Last War   And your mother well, she's lying home alone      Now she wonders at it all   Just in whose name do these brave young heroes fall   And how many more are going to answer that call   They're going to fight and die in another country's war   They're going die for a religion they don't believe in at all   They're die in a place they should never have been at all   Oh, never have been at all      'Cause your daddy well, he died in the Falklands   Fighting for another man's cause   And your brother, he was killed in the Last War   And your mother well, she's lying home alone      And your daddy well, he died in the Falklands   Fighting for another man's cause   And your brother, he was killed in the Last War   And your mother well, she's lying home alone
