Latch Key Kid - Coming home soon lyrics

Where have all the young men gone? They're leaving town, one by one Johnny, come and get your gun Father give your only son Fearlessly they lay down they're lives Son, don't be afraid to die You're fighting for the land that you love Fighting for your God up above When the bullets fall around you like rain And the starry night has burst into flames Remember you're the few, you're the brave Remember what your fighting to save I know you'll be coming home soon The war is over, it was on the evening news Nobody's winning when it's life we have to lose I know you'll be coming home soon, coming home soon Victory can be bittersweet Insurrection in the street It never comes without a price And never without sacrifice Suicidal bombs in their cars Wrap them up in stripes and stars Johnny boy is coming home For a soldier's burial I know you'll be coming home soon The war is over, it was on the evening news Nobody's winning when it's life we have to lose I know you'll be coming home soon, coming home soon
