Another Man's Cause Letra

But for the dying soldier
Well, he's feeling ten years older
As he's lying face down on the ground.
All the words that are in his head
Are all the words his mother said
As she would put him to bed back home.

Your daddy, well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother, he was killed in the Last War
And your mother, well she's lying home alone.

Every day she sees your face
On the picture on the fireplace
With your brother as he was leaving school.
Then a day came five years ago
You said, "Mother, I need to know"
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before.
"I seen the things my Daddy's done
And I've seen the medals that he's won
And I know this is what he would have wanted... for me."

But, your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother, he was killed in the Last War
And your mother, well she's lying home alone.

Now she wonders at it all,
Just in whose name do these brave young heroes fall?
And how many more are going to answer that call?
They're gonna fight and die in another country's war,
They're gonna die for a religion they don't believe in at all,
They're gonna die in a place they should never've been at all,
Oh, never've been at all.

'Cause, your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother, he was killed in the Last War
And your mother, well she's lying home alone.

And your daddy, well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother, he was killed in the Last War
And your mother, well she's lying home alone.
