Jam - Little Boy Soldiers lyrics

Its funny how you never knew what my name was, Our only contact was a form for the election. These days I find that you don't listen, These days I find that were out of touch, These days I find that I'm too busy, So why the attention now you want my a**istance, What have you done for me. You've gone and got yourself in trouble, No you want me to help you out. These days I find that I can't be bothered, These days I find that its all too much, To pick up a gun and shoot a stranger, But I've got no choice so here I come, war games. I'm up on the hills, playing little boy soldiers, Reconnaissance duty up at 5:30. Shoot shoot shoot and k** the natives, You're one of us and we love you for that. Think of honor, queen and country, You're a blessed son of the British empire, Gods on our side and so is Washington. Come out on the hills with the little boy soldiers. Come on outside, I'll sing you a lullaby, Or tell a tale of how goodness prevailed. We ruled the world, we k**ed and robbed, The f**ing lot, but we don't feel bad. It was done beneath the flag of democracy, You'll believe and I do, yes I do, yes I do, Yes I do These days I find that I can't be bothered, To argue with them well what's the point, Better to take your shots and drop down dead, Then they send you home in a pine overcoat With a letter to your mum Saying find enclosed one son, one medal and a note, To say he won.
