Gary Moore - Military Man lyrics

Papa take a look at your boy, he's a military man

Papa take a look at your boy, he's crying

Papa take a look at your boy, he's a soldier

Papa take a look in his eyes, they're colder

Papa take a look at your boy, he's a military man

Mama take a look at your boy, he's dying

Mama take a look at your boy, he's fighting

Mama take a look at your boy, he's frightened

They have trained your boy to kill

And kill someday he will

They have trained your boy to die

And ask no questions why

Papa take a look at your boy

Take a look at your boy

Take a look at your boy

He's a killer, yeah

Mama take a look at your boy

Take a look at him now

Take a look at your boy

He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama

Mama take a look at your boy, obey the order

Mama take a look at your boy, like a lamb to the slaughter

They have trained your boy to kill

And kill someday he will

They have trained your boy to die

And ask no questions why

One day, I will write for you a lovesong mother

As the children say, I love you, please hold me

And you and I, we will live our life together

Until that day when we die, I will love you mother

I will always love you

I am writing from this war

Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for

And have you seen my children?

God bless them, kiss them

And tell them that I miss them

See I'm frightened in the dark

Mama, mama

The blood is ankle-deep

They have trained your boy to kill

And kill someday he will

They have trained your boy to die

Mama take a look at your boy

Take a look at your boy

Take a look at your boy

He's marching

He's a soldier

Oh brother, oh mama

He's on the street

He's marching to the backbeat
