You say that you`d rather be really poor
Than scratching, saving, scrimping all the pennies
Looking in the windows at what you can`t afford
Always hungry, never starving
In no man`s land the days are long
You say that you`d rather be really ill
Than just having headaches, never have no energy
All the little allergies and all the little pains
Never getting better, never getting worse
In no man`s land the days are long
You say that you`d rather have no love at all
Than pathetic little words, half-hearted kisses
Never feeling anything, anything at all
Never no fire, never no passion
In no man`s land the days are long
Do you believe you can come out, fighting from you shell-hole
Or do you run for cover every time you hear a shot fired in anger?
