When I was just a young boy,
I played with swords and guns,
And I dreamed of the day I'd become a soldier.
And k** all of the enemy, my country 'tis of thee.
I sing this anthem sadly, wont you hear me.
I watched the cannons blazing, on the giant silver screen.
The swastikas were burning and the hero was me.
The general gave the order, gladly I obeyed.
But the movie faded quickly all at once today.
And now I stand alone with the charges made,
No where to run, not a place to hide.
We're sad little children playing grown-up games.
