I didn’t want to cry
But when I stood there
My heart died
We lost so many lives
Engraved their names
On a long black wall
Blind faith was all around
They marched you up
They marched you down
Tin soldiers one and all
They marched you up against the wall
What’s this game we’re playing
With our tanks and planes
Boys on battle lines
They didn’t want to die
Who is the enemy
Is it them or you and me
When they came home to find
They’re in a war fought on both sides
Somewhere deep inside
Shattered dreams and broken ties
Still we draw those lines
Till the end of time
One by one and hand to hand
Time stood still for every man
Eye to eye and man to man
All were scared in jungleland
Blind faith was all around
They march us up
They march us down
Tin soldiers one and all
They march us up against the wall
What’s this game we’re playing
With our tanks and planes
Boys on battle lines
They didn’t want to die
