Scream, goes the train
And he's riding away.
Mother watches him go,
But he misses her wave.
Scream, goes Captain
Barking to the fresh meat,
Who scream in their nightmares
Fear of more than defeat.
Scream, goes our soldier,
With the blood on his shoes.
Scream, goes his mother
When they bring her the news.
And he's riding away.
Mother watches him go,
But he misses her wave.
Scream, goes Captain
Barking to the fresh meat,
Who scream in their nightmares
Fear of more than defeat.
Scream, goes our soldier,
With the blood on his shoes.
Scream, goes his mother
When they bring her the news.
