Seen the ad on my tv set

Join the army be a man

Join the army learn new skills

Learn to kill and maim your friends

Now i'm dead

And nobody cares

It's part of the job

British soldier on tour of ulster

Who's the enemy who's the foe

Sent to the falklands

It's miles away

I didn't really want to go

Now i'm dead

And nobody cares

It's part of the job

On the news

In my living room

Soldier killed by the ira

It happens so often now

That people just don't even care
