Last Night Another Soldier - Los Fastidios

Last night another soldier, last night another child

No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry

Can you see that smart, clean soldier

Standing straight and oh so proud

He wants to fight for Queen and country

He wants to make his family proud

A job with the future, his way to get out of it

It’s his sense of romance, it never ends that way

Last night another soldier, last night another child

No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry

They’re just facts and figures on your TV screen

Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

In the country strange and foreign all the people resent him

He can’t cope with his problems, all the fears and hatred

Now he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it

It’s not the same as fighting armies looking for the terrorists

They’re just facts and figures…

Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it

They’re not in line for the bullets, they’re the ones who started it

They’re just facts and figures…

Last night another soldier, last night another child

Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocent

They’re just facts and figures.
