The Hundred Days Offensive - 1914

Bombed last night, and bombed the night before

Going to get bombed tonight

If we never get bombed anymore

When we’re bombed, we’re scared as we can be

Can’t stop the bombing sent from higher Germany

They’re over us, they’re over us

One shell hole for just the four of us

Thank your lucky stars there are no more of us

'Cause you can fill it all alone

Gassed last night, and gassed the night before

Going to get gassed tonight

If we never get gassed anymore

When we’re gassed, we’re as sick as we can be

For Phosgene and Mustard Gas is too much for me

They’re warning us, they’re warning us

One respirator for the three of us

Thank your lucky stars that two of us can run

So you can use it all alone

Keep your head down

Keep your head down

If you wanna stay alive

Forget about honour, forget about pride

And quietly crawl in the mud

Shot last night, shot the night before

We’re gonna get shot tonight

If we never get shot anymore

When we’re shot, we crawl as fast as we can

At barbed wire we’re caught in machine gun crossfire

They’re killing us, they’re killing us

One helmet for the two of us

Thank your lucky stars that one of us is dead

So you can wear it all alone

And die alone
