Like Soldiers Do Lyrics

Billy Bragg

Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears
Armed to the teeth for a war of words reaching all the years
I advanced across a poppy field
I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
And love screamed down with the sun behind its back

Our fathers were all soldiers
Should we be soldiers too?
Fighting and falling like soldiers do

Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war
I can′t be bothered to find out what we're fighting for
No one can win this war of the senses
I see no reason to drop my defenses

So stand past my emotions
Rally round my shaking heart

Our fathers were all soldiers
Should we be soldiers too?
Fighting and falling like soldiers do

Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears
Armed to the teeth for a war of words reaching all the years
I advanced across a poppy field
I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
And love screamed down with the sun behind its back

And oh! Once again I was under attack

So stand past my emotions
Rally round my shaking heart

Our fathers were all soldiers
Should we be soldiers too?

Fighting and falling like soldiers
Fighting and falling like soldiers
Fighting and falling like soldiers do
