Last Night Another Soldier-Angelic Upstarts

Last night another soldier, last night another child No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry Can you see that smart, clean soldier, Standing straight and oh so proud He wants to fight for Queen and country He wants to make his family proud A job with the future, his way to get out of it It's his sense of romance, it never ends that way Last night another soldier, last night another child No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry They're just facts and figures on your TV screen Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream In the country strange and foreign all the people resent him He can't cope with his problems, all the fears and hatred Now he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it It's not the same as fighting armies looking for the terrorists They're just facts and figures... Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it They're not in line for the bullets, they're the ones who started it They're just facts and figures... Last night another soldier, last night another child Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocent They're just facts and figures..
