Lyrics
We're standing on the front line
And we got no place to go
The orders they have sent us
Don't make much sense we no
Can't believe that we've been left here
Fighting people we don't no
We should all go home tomorrow whilst we can
And leave these killing fields to people that can't get away
They have to stay
Started thinking about my homeland and if my families ok
God I miss them oh so much now
And I'm so lost for words to say
Can't believe that we've been left here
Fighting people we don't no
We should all go home tomorrow whilst we can
And leave these killing fields to people that can't get away
They have to stay
They have to lay here where they fell
In this hell
Can't believe that we've been left here
Fighting people we don't no
We should all go home tomorrow whilst we can
And leave these killing fields to people that can't get away
They have to stay
They have to lay here where they fell
In this hell
Standing here on the front line and we,ve got no place to go
