Another Man's Cause - The Levellers

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
