lyrics

And we'll plant a few poppy seeds upon their backs
Their new tracts are breaking potted plants
Entrenched civilians, so landlocked
A thousand dots, the chosen targets
Fully functional pelvis, no water to help us
No one taught the boy how to count the casualties

A shrapnel kiss goodbye
A dream of drones ignored
Black finger tips at a polling station
Trigger ready and waiting

Ten years gone, the tale of the strong
Your speedy trial ended in dust on your grave
Ripped a page from Thursday's paper
Same old noose, old golden tatters
Promised a ballroom but no one's in costume
Strike up the band, we can still strike up the band

A shrapnel kiss good bye
A team of drones ignored
Black finger tips at a polling station
Trigger ready and waiting

Well nobody remembers the Vietcong
Except for Charlie and they're all gone
So why does it matter if they cut down the trees?
There's nothing left to do, plant a few poppy seeds
There's nothing left to do, plant a few poppy seeds
There’s nothing left to do
