Lyrics Another Man's Cause - The Levellers

Another Man's Cause

Gunshots shatter in the peace of night just another firefight
For the people of this little town
But for the dying soldier he was feeling ten years older
And hes lying face down on the ground
All the words that are in his head and all the words his mother saidAs she
would put him to bed back home
Chorus: Your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another mans cause
And your brother he was killed in the last war
Now yonr mother well shes lying at home alone
Everyday she sees yor face on the picture on the fireplace
With your brother as he was leaving school
Then a day came 5 years ago you said Mother I need to know
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
Ive seen the things my daddys done and Ive seen the medals that heswon
And I know this is what he would have wanted for me — for me Break: Now she wonders at it all
Just in his name dippies break and heroes fall
And how many more are going to answer the call
They gonna fight, fight and die in another countries war
They gonna die for a religion they never believed in at all
They gonna die in a place they should have never been at all
No never been at all
