lyrics

Lie awake at the sound of the bell
This regimented shuffle's got me down
A murderer breathing down my neck
KEPT IN CHECK by his ankle noose
Our beloved lock step

Up at dawn, revelry, the prison around me differs from my dreams
Only in the most subtle subtleties, never mind these walls I'm heading over seas
I've never been one for lines, I've never been one for sand
I never once thought that killing another, would ever make you a man
BUT HERE I AM

And what the kings says goes
Our wives and daughters know
That when the king says go
WHEN THE KINGS SAYS GO
We'll be the first to know

Far from home in a foreign hell
No witches brew, no concocted spell
Could take away these anxieties
So far from home, so far from ease

Bombs dropping over head, stuck in a trench tucked into bed
Can't decipher Can't comprehend the reasons for being here to defend
A freedom so obvious, a freedom so good and pure
A freedom that's easier to export while at home remains so obscure

And what the king says goes
Our wives and daughters know
That when the king says go
WHEN THE KING SAYS GO WE GO
