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
