Don’t worry soldiers don't worry  
Lyrics and music: De Componeur

Who are they
Who tell others how to drill a man, again
It is me, it is you, it is we
Who accept that others kill a man, again
Soldiers fight the earth will shake
hail the limbs they lose or break
with all the cannon shots they take
every strike a piece of cake
but there's no peace in lie awake
this is life and life's at stake
It is a bloody shame
And all the selfies they will make
with the arm that didn't break
smile and likewise undertake
bits and pieces hearts will ache
so their hands will never shake
war is always a mistake
and who is left to blame
It’s me, it’s you, it’s we,
who are brainless and incompetent, and more
We let it happen, we have failed
we are stupid we did not prevent, a war
We are concerned and we are safe
we've seen an entertaining field event, before
It's not impressive and why bother not my brother
it's a boring bitter end, no more
We are not on battleground
we are safe and homeward bound
never felt a firing line
never stepped on any mine
not really mind a young man's life
or his children or his wife
It is a bloody shame
We never practised combat zone
never suffered all alone
never tasted any mud
enjoyed the smell of burning blood
or realized that limbs could fly
never seen a young man die
The ones who are left to blame
It is us. It is we.
It's everybody who is not at war, again
We don't grieve, disbelieve, not receive it
we neglect or we ignore, and then
we sit tight, out of sight, we should fight
what are we waiting for, since when
But does it matter may be better send a letter:
Dear sir, we decided just to stop this war, amen.
All what's left will feel again
and some limbs will heal again
please make steps with open mind
looking forward not behind
aching process without fight
taste the freedom with delight
by eating bitter sweets
And all what's gone can't be undone
so kill howevers one by one
no more buts but try say cheese
no more ifs, if you want peace
one day you will start with a laugh
but secure the peace you have…
Cause if history repeats…
Again…
Don’t worry soldiers don't worry.
Don’t worry soldiers don't worry.
Don’t worry soldiers don't worry.
