Never, never, never again

Will Tommy die for you



Over the top the unknown go

Into a land where no man lives

Say goodbye to his friends

Cause they will never see Tommy again

General, general on the top of the hill

Middle class man whose blood won't spill

Kept out of the action, out of harm's way

Cause he's gonna find that Tommy's dead



Never, never, never again



War is over so they say

How many Tommys died that day

Now it's over count the cost

A ring of roses for those that lost

A place in history is what they've got

For what they paid it's not a lot

Medals and statues are no compensation

For working class heros who died for you



Never, never, never again

Will Tommy die for you



Over the top the unknown go

Into a land where no man lives

Say goodbye to his friends

Cause they will never see Tommy again

General, general on the top of the hill

Middle class man whose blood won't spill

Kept out of the action, out of harm's way

Cause he's gonna find that Tommy's dead
