Oakalla - War lyrics

rate me

Tommy packed his bags

Visions of a foreign land

Looked away the ad that said

The night he really slept

He dreamt his dad came back

Son, you're not quite yet a man

Dad you just don't understand

Well here's my chance

And Mom,

I'm going to fight abroad

Give love to my bros

I hope you understand

That I just didn't know

How to tell you

That I was leaving home

So I went and put it in this note

Son (son, son)

I hope that you have found

What it is you're looking for

You know that I always knew

That you'd be leaving home

I never guessed so soon

And to go and fight a war

A war that isn't yours

To go and fight a war that isn't yours

I'm going to fight abroad

Give love to my bros

I hope you understand

That I just didn't know

How to tell you

That I was leaving home

I never would've left you if I'd known

Mom! (mom, mom)

I'm going to fight abroad

Give love to my bros

I hope you understand

That I just didn't know

How to tell you

That I was leaving home

I never would've left you if I'd known

[helicopter]

Ma (ma, ma)

Today we fired our guns

At enemies we couldn't see

So many shells lay at my feet

And when the smoke was gone

We shot right through civilians

And a innocent man died

Those bullets might be mine

Those bullets might be mine

I'm going to fight abroad

Give love to my bros

I hope you understand

That I just didn't know

How to tell you

That I was leaving home

That I was leaving home

To go and fight a never ending war
