Bilingual
The natives are restless tonight, sir
Cooped up on estates with no hope in sight
They need some kind of distraction
Well we can give them that
'Cause they'd die if they only had something to die for
They'd kill if they only had something to kill for
They'd cheer if they only had something to cheer for
Yeah, we can give 'em that
So it's off to war we go
(I never believed this)
Bring all the flags
(I never believed this)
And fight the good fight
It's working like a dream, sir
The nation hooked on the bait
Waiting for the next victorious instalment
Yeah, well we can give 'em that
'Cause it's no surprise that young men are heroes
It's no surprise that young men are strong
It's no surprise that young men are foolish
We've known that all along
Exciting pictures on News at Ten
(I never believed this)
Read all the crap on all your front pages
(I never believed this)
Fight the good fight
There's dead men in the South Atlantic
Doesn't it warm your hearts?
To think that they'd die for you and me
Oh God, what a farce
What a farce
And now it's the repeats
Mention the Falklands and the Falkland spirit
Show the pictures again and again
'Til the next war comes around
'Cause we'd die if we only had something to die for
We'd kill if we only had something to kill for
We'd cheer if we only had something to cheer for
Oh yes, the next war
(I never believed this)
The propaganda on the T.V
(I never believed this)
Enemies with horns and tails
There's dead men in the South Atlantic
Doesn't it warm your hearts?
To think that they'd die for you and me
Oh God, what a farce
There's crippled men back home in England
It's meant to warm our hearts
They think that they fought for peace and freedom
Poor boys, what a farce
What a farce
