lyrics

They said don't play in the street
Or a car might run over your feet
They said don't play with a match
You'll set fire to your hair, you'll set fire to your hat

You say just listen to me
Because I gave birth to you, you see
Don't ask questions, just let it be
You fellows were never fathers to me

Now I've grown up and found I've got no home
And the hole I'm living in is dark and cold
And you say that I shouldn't be sore
But the life you've given me I never asked for

Now I've grown up and found I've got no home
And the hole I'm living in is dark and cold
And you say that I shouldn't be sore
But the flag you've given me I never asked for

And I've been told it doesn't get better than this
It's only what they taught me for the history test
And I don't want it said that I'm being ungrateful
I'm just sick of being told when to push and when to pull

Now I've grown up and found I've got no home
And the hole I'm living in is dark and cold
And you say that I shouldn't be sore
But the life you've given me I never asked for

Now I've grown up and found I've got no home
And the hole I'm living in is dark and cold
And you say that I shouldn't be sore
But the flag you've given me I never asked for

And I've never been one to point the blame
And I've never been one to name the names
And it doesn't really matter who started this mess
Let's just try to make the best of what's left

And all I know is I don't care about war
There's not much here to fight over
I'm waiting for more, I'm waiting for
I'm waiting for my Lord to carry me home

And all I know is I don't care about war
There's not much here to fight over
I'm waiting for more, I'm waiting for
I'm waiting for my Lord to carry me home
