A telegram through the post Says sorry your son is dead He was only doing his duty When he got a bullet through his head. He was standing in a doorway just sheltering from the rain His death was instantaneous he wouldn't have felt the pain. He was only doing his duty For a country he thought was great But he didn't seem to realise It's built purely out of hate. His parents mourn his wife breaks down his children scream and cry. A soldier lies dead in Belfast and a nation wonders why! Are you looking for the answer? Cause you really don't have a clue! You're taught to support the colors of the red the white the blue. As the death toll rises in Belfast New war strategies are declared If it wasn't for all the killings Would the feelings not be shared?
