Our lads go out so full of hope
To fight a war so far away
Again they go so ill equipped
When will we ever learn?
We fight a foe we do not know
A people who wish that we would go
A culture alien to us all
When will we ever learn?
Then fight us using homemade bombs
We react with modern tools
They still kill our men & woman
When will we ever learn?
They say it is a religious war
About a God we think we know
But wait a minute, I’ve read the books
The story similar, the names have changed
But way down there, we are but one
Each preaches peace to all
So why are we fighting each other
When will we ever learn?
To fight a war so far away
Again they go so ill equipped
When will we ever learn?
We fight a foe we do not know
A people who wish that we would go
A culture alien to us all
When will we ever learn?
Then fight us using homemade bombs
We react with modern tools
They still kill our men & woman
When will we ever learn?
They say it is a religious war
About a God we think we know
But wait a minute, I’ve read the books
The story similar, the names have changed
But way down there, we are but one
Each preaches peace to all
So why are we fighting each other
When will we ever learn?
