Motorhead - 1916 слова песни
16 years old when I went to war,To fight for a land fit for heroes,God on my side, and a gun in my hand,Chasing my days down to zero,And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,And I never did get any older,But I knew at the time that a year in the line,Is a long enough life for a soldier,We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names,And we added two years to our ages,Eager for life and ahead of the game,Ready for history`s pages,And we brawled and we fought and we whored `til we stood,Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder,A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun,And that`s what you are when you`re soldiers,I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,And I fell by his side, and that`s how we died,Clinging like kids to each other,And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood,And I wept as his body grew colder,And I called for my mother and she never came,Though it wasn`t my fault and I wasn`t to blame,The day not half over and ten thousand slain,And now there`s nobody remembers our names,And that`s how it is for a soldier.
