Gary Moore - Military Man Lyrics
(Philip Lynott)Mama take a look at your boy,he's a military man.Papa take a look at your boy,he's crying.Papa take a look at your boy,he's a soldier.Mama take a look in his eyes,they're colder.Papa take a look at your boy,he's a military man.Mama take a look at your boy,he's dying.Papa take a look at your boy,he's fighting.Mama take a look at your boy,he's frightened.They have trained your boy to kill,and kill some day he will.They have trained your boy to dieand ask no questions why.Papa take a look at your boy,take a look at your boy,take a look at your boy.He's a killer, yeah.Mama take a look at your boy,take a look at him now,take a look at your boy.He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama.Mama take a look at your boy,obey the order.Mama take a look at your boy,like a lamb to slaughter.They have trained your boy to kill,and kill some day he will.They have trained your boy to dieand ask no questions why.One day I will write for you a lovesong, mother.As the children say: "I love you", please hold me.And you and I, we will live our life together.Until that day when we die, I will love you, mother.I will always love you.I am writing from this war.Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for.And have you seen my children?God bless them, kiss them,and tell them that I miss them.See I'm frightened in the dark,mama, mama.The blood is ankle deep.They have trained your boy to kill,and kill someday he will.They have trained your boy to die.Papa take a look at your boy,take a look at your boy,take a look at your boy.He's marching,he's a soldier.Oh mama, oh mama.He's on the street.He's marching to the backbeat.
