Dischord UK - Red Poppies Lyrics



Dischord UK - Red Poppies Lyrics




You can't save the soldiers
Who died in 1917
But with a canteen full of hate
You can desecrate their legacy
Shedding blood for oil
You guaranteed your place in hell
Pulling the triggers for the rich
In the wars the rich won't fight for themselves

And you can wave their flags
And you can dance their dance
But there's no help for heroes
They're still rotting in France

And you can sound the horns
At the cadets parade
But they're following footsteps
To an unmarked grave

Rotting and forgotten
In an unmarked grave

And you can fight for England
And say you killed for your country
But you'll die for a German Queen
And an all American currency
Dropping bombs on schools
You guaranteed your place in hell
Killing children for the crown
In the wars the crown don't care about

'I was born in this town
But I was made a monster
Dehumanised. Radicalised
Taught to kill without compromise
So pack up your troubles
In your old kit bag
But they won't support you
When you come back'
