naughty town |
I did my duty
I did my best
I hid behind my bullet proof vest
I walked the streets with gun in hand
I held the peace in a foreign land
People didn’t want me there
They would often stand and stare
But my duty was to keep the peace
I tried to save a life, at least
I saw men die
I saw men suffer
Life couldn’t get too much tougher
Bombs and bullets played their tune
And forced me deep in to the gloom
My duty there was never done
I worked until the passing sun
Then one day the years have passed
My memories would last and last
No corner of my mind is safe
I am haunted by that foreign place
I try to run
I try to hide
My demons always by my side
Did I serve my country true
Would I really die for you
Did I do my very best
Did I need my bomb proof vest
Did I see my colleagues die
Or is it just a wicked lie
All I know is this you see
I can never be set free
The Troubles they have left their mark
They keep me trembling in the dark
So enjoy your freedom that I won
For this soldiers work is done!
