"The Saddest Game"

The brothers I've lost
I won't cry for, no I won't coz
that's just a cost of our right war
and I'd do it again, if they asked me (help me)
I'd do it again, yes, I would,
if they asked me.

You see, the bullets round my chest
make a man of me.
I said the bullets round my chest make a man of me.

This is the saddest game I've ever played
someone take me away
ever played, just take me away.

My little brother is in training.
Oh he'll make a good fighter,
when they tame him, they will tame him.
No, we haven't seen our mother in two years
and he cries like a baby
like, I guess, he is.

This is the saddest game he's ever played
someone take him away
ever played, just take him away.
Please ... please ...

So the brothers I've lost
I won't cry for, no I won't, coz
that's just a cost of our right war, and hear me
and I'd do it you again, if they asked me (help me)
I'd shoot you again, if they asked me (help me).

The bullets round my chest
make a man of me.
I said the bullets round my chest make a man of me.

This is the saddest game I've ever played,
someone take us away,
ever played, just take us away,
ever played, just take us away,
ever played, someone take us away.

I don't want to play any more.
I don't want to play any more.
I don't want to play any more.
I don't want to play any more.
I don't want to play any more.
I don't want to play any more.
Your war...
