Prisoners of war!
They won't walk another step
They're just tired
And they're fighting each other again
Prisoners of war!
They don't need me anymore
I'll just play my jew's harp at the prison door
And it don't seem right to make them fight all night
And it don't seem right to let them be all right
Prisoners of war!
They're just humans after all
And what does it matter if they get away?
Prisoners of war!
They won't need you anymore
All these borderlines have lied to us before
And it don't seem right to make them fight all night
And it don't seem right to let them be all right
And they've got to stick together
And they need to love each other
And they need to stick together to survive
And they don't know where they're going
They've just got to get away
From all the soldiers that would like to see them dead
Prisoners of war!
There's no need to feel so down
You've got so much live for, probably
Prisoners of war!
I'd like to apologize
I see you've got your own nooses
And I've got mine
And it don't seem right to make them fight all night
And it don't seem right to let them be all right
And it don't seem right to make them fight all night
And it don't seem right to let them be all right
Prisoners of war!
Prisoners of war!
Prisoners of war!
Prisoners of war!
