I fought for King and country My life I put on the line, for them My brief moment of glory I've survive both the wars But who cares anymore It's still the same old way Survival from day to day The troops who gave for their country Their efforts were all forgotten But they will never forget Two medals to show for my country And only memories of better days to live with each lonely day Still the same old way Survival from day to day Alone in a cold empty room Bitter until the end One of the King's fighting men But like so many others before me We are all forgotten heroes And we will die without a trace Still the same old way Survival from day to day I fought for King and country My life I put on the line, for them My brief moment of glory I've survived both the wars But who cares any more Still the same old way Survival from day to day
