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
British soldier on tour of ulster
Who's the enemy who's the foe

Sent to the falklands
It's miles away
I didn't really want to go

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

On the news
In my living room
Soldier killed by the ira

It happens so often now
That people just don't even care
