Safe as Houses |
They go to war with smiling faces |
Smiling faces fresh from mum |
Ask no questions, get told no lies |
Learn to kill so no one dies |
The daily targets are heaven sent |
Nothing’s wrong, nothing’s meant to hurt so much |
And all to keep us safe |
As safe as houses |
And then they’re in, embedded deep |
Embedded in the broken streets |
Radio calls to keep the faith |
To keep from fear that ever creeps |
The lottery tumbles, the die is cast |
Friends will fall while you will last another day |
And all to keep us safe |
As safe as houses |
For those who survive |
The adventure of their lives |
For those that pay the cost |
It’s just paradise lost |
They’re keeping us safe |
Keeping the faith |
Keeping us safe |
Safe as houses |
Safe as houses |
Safe as houses |
