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
