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..
