Prisoners of war They won't walk another step They're just tired and they're fighting each other again Prisoners of war They don't need me anymore I'll just play my Jew's harp at the prison door And it don't seem right to make them fight all night And it don't seem right to let them be all right Prisoners of war They're just humans after all And what does it matter if they get away? Prisoners of war They won't need you anymore All these borderlines have lied to us before
And they've got to stick together And they need to love each other And they need to stick together to survive And they don't know where they're going They've just got to get away from all the soldiers That would like to see them dead Prisoners of war There's no need to feel so down You've got so much left to live for probably Prisoners of war I'd like to apologize I see you've got your own nooses and I've got mine
