Trenches

The Great War has just started And I've recruited into the army They say it's all good fun And by Christmas it'll all be done I can't wait, to get stuck in I can't wait, to get stuck in All of this waiting around Just to make my country proud But I've seen the writing on the wall And I don't care about it at all Life has changed, in the trenches Life has changed, in the trenches Why are we fighting one another When a year ago I could've called you my brother But because the generals want to get famous The world has driven into chaos Life has changed, in the trenches Life has changed, in the trenches I've seen my comrades drop one by one Apparently, this is all good fun The new recruits don't even know how to hold a gun When will this be over? Life had changed, from the trenches Life had changed, from the trenches
