The map has gone

It's burning in the afternoon

The smell's so strong

No chance to waft away

Gold medallions for the proud men in khaki

No one wants to lead the way

Be the first death of the day

Leave his family behind

It must all be in the minds of
AmFEm
Battalions of strangers ...
AmFEm
Battalions of strangers ...
AmFEm
Battalions of strangers ...
AmFEm
Battalions of strangers ...
The sound of guns has given way to childrens cries
The war has come home
The black smoke and the hordes of flies
Gold medallions for the citizens who stand and wait
Battalions of strangers
Battalions of strangers
No one wants to lead the way...
The voice of calm from Moscow to the Pentagon
Sound the alarm and try to back the better one
Gold medallions for the men who must negotiate
Battalions of strangers
Battalions of strangers
Battalions of strangers
Battalions of strangers
... Out.
