He closed his eyes on his weekly stroll, And pondered on what it would be; if he'd known, That it'd be a golden paved death - he'd lay with his dole. Would all the trench boys still ****** to dug out holes? Many bitter nights with malice to his brain, Thought lasting the hardship would be the 'all okay'. The flag would save him; The flag would eradicate the pain, But the flag hollowed him out and the trench boys all the same. What must we do in such a caviler present age? Sign petitions in false hope of changing the unchanged? The ol' trench boys still rot in sheltered accommodation. Gave their live; their youth; their back and front tooth, For their isolated treasured nation.

Ol' Trench Boys
He closed his eyes on his weekly stroll, And pondered on what it would be; if he'd known, That it'd be a golden paved death - he'd lay with his dole. Would all the trench boys still ****** to dug out holes? Many bitter nights with malice to his brain, Thought lasting the hardship would be the 'all okay'. The flag would save him; The flag would eradicate the pain, But the flag hollowed him out and the trench boys all the same. What must we do in such a caviler present age? Sign petitions in false hope of changing the unchanged? The ol' trench boys still rot in sheltered accommodation. Gave their live; their youth; their back and front tooth, For their isolated treasured nation.
