State of the Nation

I see them marching off to war

They're looking so heroic

I'm told they won't be gone for long

But that's a lie and they know it

Ten thousand gone, they won't return

Never to be seen again

Strategic games are all we learn

In the ends, well they say

Don't you worry about the situation

(A message from the telephone)

They're out there fighting for the state of the nation

(And waiting for the chance to come home)

They're always off to fight the allied nation

(And realise they're fighting alone)

When nights smear memories fade to dust

We'll get back on our feet again

This war has nothing to do with us

But somehow we're so involved in it

Well, don't you worry about the situation

(A message from the telephone)

They're out there fighting for the state of the nation

(And waiting for the chance to come home)

Don't you worry about the situation

(A message from the telephone)

They're always off to fight the allied nation

(And realise they're fighting alone)

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place, I don't want to be anywhere else

There's no place, I don't want to be anywhere else

There's no place, I don't want to be anywhere else

There's no place, I don't want to be anywhere else

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place, I don't want to be anywhere

Don't you worry about the situation

They're out there fighting for the state of the nation

Don't you worry about the situation

(A message from the telephone)

They're always off to fight the allied nation

(And realise they're fighting alone)

They're out there fighting for the state of the nation

(And waiting for the chance to come home)

They're always off to fight the allied nation

(And realise they're fighting alone)

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place like home
