Seen the ad on my TV set
Join the army, be a man
Join the army, learn new skills
Learn to kill and maim your friends

Now I'm dead
And nobody cares
It's part of the job

Now I'm dead
And nobody cares
It's part of the job

British soldier on tour of Ulster
Who's the enemy who's the foe
Sent to the Falklands
It's mites away
I didn't really want to go

On the news
In my living room
Soldier kitied by IRA
It happens now so often now
That people just don't even care

Repeat verse 1
