[E]These days I [D#m]find that [C#m]I don't [B]listen,
[E]These days I [D#m]find that we're [C#m]out of [B]touch,
[E]These days I [D#m]find that [C#m]I'm too [B]busy,
So [E]why the [D#m]attention now you [C#m]want my [B]assistance -
[C]What have you [D]done for [E]me?
[G]You've gone and got [C]yourself in [D]trouble,
[G]Now you want me to [C]help you [D]out.
[E]These days I [D#m]find that [C#m]I can't be [B]bothered,
[E]These days I [D#m]find that it's [C#m]all too [B]much,
To [E]pick up a [D#m]gun and [C#m]shoot a [B]stranger,
But [E]I've got no [D#m]choice so [C#m]here I [B]come
[C]war [D]game[E]s.
(Rick Buckler's Drum Solo)
RIFF1
RIFF 1
I'm up on the hills, playing little boy soldiers,
RIFF 1
Reconnaissance duty up at 5:30.
RIFF 1
Shoot shoot shoot and kill the natives,
RIFF 1
You're one of us and we love you for that.
RIFF 2
Think of honour, Queen and country,
RIFF 2
You're a blessed son of the British Empire,
RIFF 2
God's on our side and so is Washington.
RIFF3
Come out on the hills with the little boy soldiers,
RIFF3
I'm up on the hills, playing little boy soldiers,
RIFF3
Come out on the hills, playing little boy soldiers.
[G]Come on out[Em]side - I'll [G]sing you a [Em]lullaby,
Or [Am]tell a [Em]tale of how [Am]goodness [Em]prevailed.
We [G]ruled the [Em]world - we [G]killed and [Em]robbed,
The [Am]fucking [Em]lot - but [Am]we don't feel [Em]bad.
It was [F]done beneath the [C]flag of de[G]mocrac[Am]y,
You'll [G]bel[F]ieve and I [Am]do - yes I [G]do - yes I do -
[F] [Am] [G]
yes I do - yes I do - yes I do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-o
[E]These days I [D#m]find that [C#m]I can't be [B]bothered,
To [E]argue [D#m]with them well [C#m]what's the [B]point,
Better to [E]take your [D#m]shots and [C#m]drop down [B]dead,
then they [E]send you [D#m]home in a [C#m]pine over[B]coat
[C]With a [D]letter to your [E]mum
Saying [E]find en[D#m]closed one [C#m]son - one [B]medal and a [A]note -
to [B]say he [E]won.
