 The map has gone

 It's burning in the afternoon

 The smell's so strong

 No chance to waft away

 Gold medallions for the proud men in khaki

 Battalions of strangers

 Battalions of strangers

 No one wants to lead the way

 Be the first death of the day

 Leave his family behind

 It must all be in the minds of

 Battalions of strangers ...

 Battalions of strangers ...

 Battalions of strangers ...

 Battalions of strangers ...

The sound of guns has given way to childrens cries

The war has come home

The black smoke and the hordes of flies

Gold medallions for the citizens who stand and wait

Battalions of strangers

Battalions of strangers

No one wants to lead the way...

The voice of calm from Moscow to the Pentagon

Sound the alarm and try to back the better one

Gold medallions for the men who must negotiate

Battalions of strangers

Battalions of strangers

Battalions of strangers

Battalions of strangers

... Out.
