All the Fine Young Men |
They told all the fine young men |
«Ah, when this war is over |
There will be peace |
And the peace will last forever.» |
In Flanders Fields |
At Lone Pine and Bersheeba |
For king and country |
Honour and for duty |
The young men fought and cursed and wept and died |
They told all the fine young men |
«Ah, when this war is over |
In your country’s grateful heart |
We will cherish you forever.» |
Tobruk and Alamein |
Bhuna and Kokoda |
In a world mad with war |
Like their fathers before |
The young men fought and cursed and wept and died |
For many of those fine young men |
All the wars are over |
They’ve found their peace |
It’s the peace that lasts forever |
When the call comes again |
They will not answer |
They’re just forgotten bones |
Lying far from their homes |
Forgotten as the cause for which they died |
Ah, Bluey, can you see now why they lied? |
