Have they blocked the horrors out? E A E Do they only think of comradeship or the girls from Armentieres? E A B7 Or the nights they spent in Cairo as they listen to the cheers? E Lest they recall [Chorus] E A E Lest they recall the countless children burned alive in napalm’s fire E A B Lest they recall the dead civilians lying tangled in the wire E A E Or the faces of the women raped and shattered to the core E A B7 It’s not only men in uniform who pay the price of war E Lest we forget [Verse 4] E A E It seems that in this country old soldiers never die E A B They just keep right on marching down the years and down the line E A But the further from the battlefield the further from their minds E A B7 Is the truth about the carnage and the mates they left behind E Lest they forget [Chorus] E A E Lest they recall the countless children burned alive in napalm’s fire E A B Lest they recall the dead civilians lying tangled in the wire E A E Or the faces of the women raped and shattered to the core E A B7 It’s not only men in uniform who pay the price of war E Lest we forget
