Soldier kills another soldier
But this is war so that's alright
The generals and politicians
Are sleeping in their beds tonight.

They don't have to worry
They didn't start this fight.

Above it all they must remember
They are not the ones to blame
'Cos on that dark day in September
We all joined in
The 21st century game.

A mother takes a three miles bus ride
On her knee her baby son.
The journey ends in one explosion
They came to kill, their job is done

But they don't have to worry
They didn't start this fight.

Above it all they must remember
They are not the ones to blame
But on that dark day in September
We all joined in
The 21st century game.

When will we see through the madness?
Why can't we see through the tears?
Why must it take so many years?

Another day, another dollar
I carry on, don't ask me why
It's not my problem, I can't change things
I guess we don't see eye to eye.

But we don't have to worry
We didn't start this fight.

Above it all we must remember
We are not the ones to blame
'Cos on that dark day in September
We all joined in
The 21st century game.

We must remember
We are not the ones to blame
But on that dark day in September
We all joined in
The 21st century game.

When will it end?
