Lyrics
(Philip lynott)
Mama 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 Mama 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 Papa 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 some day 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 slaughter
They have trained your boy to kill And kill some day 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
Papa 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 mama, oh mama He's on the street He's marching to the backbeat
