I was living by the river Working in a grocery store
And every day I heard the people They were whispering and talking about a war
They say they heard it on the radio Our president had learned
That the chance for diplomatic discussions Is already burned

So on the 2nd of August I got a letter from the Corps
It said, hello Mr. Grozer Come and join us in the war
So I packed my grey sailing bag Began to walk down the road
One of the youngest boys shouted We're going abroad

But I'll be going back Yeah, I'll be going back
Oh, I'll be going back Yeah, I'll be going back
After two days of travelling We finally entered the base
And I stepped out of the aircraft And I saw the General's face

He said, follow me children Everything will be alright
After a few weeks of training You'll be ready for the fight
So we went out to the desert To learn how to kill and to destroy
And all my friends from my hometown They were playing with machine guns like with toys

They were excited by the duty That they were going through
One of them made a protest He said, son, this is not up to you
Cause I'll be going back Yeah, I'll be going back
Oh, I'll be going back Yeah, I'll be going back

Now it suddenly comes to me What I've never have been told
When young boys fight like soldiers They think they fight for some gold
Just like the heroes they had When they were small
They are the good guy in the movie So strong and so tall

And I always will remember When I sat alone and played
There were many in my platoon Who never made it all the way
And it often comes to me When I walk the streets today
Is it a question of years or days Before we're there again

But then we're never going back I'm afraid we're never going back
No, we're never going back No, we're never going back
No, we're never going back I'm afraid we're never going back
No, we're never going back No, we're never going back

No, we're never going back No, we're never going back
