Only Playing Games
(Brown)
So close to one another
Dancing armoured shadows
Tornadoes
Chasing digital figures
With romantic names
Only playing games
Bright British bayonets
Bringing kingdom come
To the beat of a dark drum
Their work is not forgotten
Red is always shamed
Only playing games
People of the future
Scattered to the cities
Where they don't want to be
Fighting desperate battles
With the diesel rain
Only playing games
So far from one another
Spending endless days
Far over the sea
Watch them burn
In the sun's flame
Only playing games
