Don't forget me the soldier
I love my country that's true
Here on the world's battlefields
I fought for you I died for you

Don't forget me the sailor
I love my country that's true
Here on the world's oceans
I fought for you I died for you

Don't forget me the pilot
I love my country that's true
Here in the world's heavens
I fought for you I died for you

Don't forget me the mother
I sent my son off to war
He did not come home to me
What is all the fighting for?

We are the politicians
You see us laying our wreaths
We send your loved ones off to war
And too many to their deaths
