Nits - J.o.s. Days lyrics

rate me

The war monument is still standing between two footballfields<br />

<br />

With the names of the men killed on the battlefields. @<br />

They were center forwards<br />

Keepers and backs<br />

<br />

They thought they would win.<br />

<br />

It's a family tradition to play in a football team<br />

<br />

I have nephews<br />

Dumb but tall<br />

Who<br />

<br />

Still fetus<br />

Kicked the ball.<br />

I've got flat feet and my knees are weak<br />

<br />

They all thought it was time to start my J.O.S. days<br />

<br />

My J.O.S. days.<br />

<br />

The last war in this country<br />

The fighting lasted four days<br />

<br />

Between the names on this list I see one name again.<br />

He had my age and my first name<br />

<br />

He thought he would win like in his J.O.S. days<br />

<br />

In his J.O.S. days.<br />

<br />

They had too many boys who wanted to be in a team<br />

<br />

So in one day<br />

In one match you had to prove your ability.<br />

I was knocked out<br />

A real disgrace<br />

<br />

A break with the family tradition in my J.O.S. days<br />

<br />

In my J.O.S. days.<br />

<br />

I can live without a finger<br />

I can live without a toe<br />

<br />

But the head is necessary.
