Guns go off around my head
As i fall over the fallen dead
Cordite fumes that sting my eyes
The infantry's always the first to die

[Chorus]
Who is right, who is wrong
Should we, can't we ban all bombs
Who is right, who is wrong
Should we, can't we ban all bombs

The infantry's always the first to die
Trained to kill but never told why
No farewells in the field of goodbyes
Soldiers die and civilian cries

[Chorus]

Will we be the first to try
Can we trust them not to lie
