They were children fighting in the fields Muddy faces, bows and arrows Pretending that their fatal wounds would heal But that was then and this is now Give me a reason, a reason to stay I am lost, confused, worlds away So give me the answer, show me the way 'Cause I'm bound to lose, feel betrayed
Now they're fighting in the k**ing fields Digging trenches, drowning sorrows No pretending now, the pain is real Asking why and what it's for? So welcome to the real world It's a question of belief Is it worth dying for
