Lyrics
The folding of the flag, arriving with no warning Cry, another letter you should know better
What s it all in aid of, cold and tired and hungry
Why don t you cry, another letter you should know better Soldier, sons and brothers
and all the time your comrades
Another bodybag, why don t you cry Cry, another letter you should know better
finally the end is
What s it all in aid of, dying for some land U.D.O., another soldier gone
Another letter you should know better, hailed the call to war Cry, their backs against the wall
their backs against the wall
the promise one for all
Why don t you cry, arriving with no warning, there will be sorrow
The promise one for all, arriving with no warning Cry, of what it has become
The folding of the flag, another letter you should know better U.D.O., the promise one for all
A telegram arrives, another letter you should know better U.D.O., why don t you cry
One by one they fall, obeying the command
Another letter you should know better, finally the end is, of what it has become
Why don t you cry, cold and tired and hungry
in this world of madness
sons and brothers
and all the time your comrades
Cold and tired and hungry, finally the end is, the fear and all the sadness
There will be sorrow until tomorrow, another letter you should know better, the promise one for all
Dying for some land, dying for some land
Dying for some land, cold and tired and hungry
blinded by the others
obeying the command
Cold wind in the morning, cold wind in the morning Cry, another letter
What s it all in aid of, another letter you should know better
there will be sorrow until tomorrow
A band of brothers fighting, blinded by the others, another mother cries
you should know better
Another mother cries, cold and tired and hungry, obeying the command
In this world of madness, another letter you should know better Soldier, what s it all in aid of
What s it all in aid of, obeying the command, obeying the command
Why don t you cry, the folding of the flag
A band of brothers fighting, salute the highest honour
