is there anybody here
who'd like to wrap the flag around an early grave
is there anybody here
who thinks they're standing taller on a battle wave
is there anybody here
who'd like to do his part
soldier to the world and a bullet to his heart
i want to see him i want to wish him luck
i want to shake his hand
want to call his name
put a medal on the man

is there anybody here
who'd like to change their clothes into a uniform
is there anybody here
who thinks they're only serving on a raging storm
is there anybody here
with glory in their eye
loyal to the end and who's duty is to die
i want to see him i want to wish him luck
i want to shake his hand
want to call his name
put a medal on the man

is there anybody here
so proud of the parade
who'd like to give a cheer and show they're not afraid
i'd like to ask him what he's trying to defend
i'd like to ask him what he thinks he's gonna win
is there anybody here
who thinks that following the orders takes away the blame
is there anybody here
who wouldn't mind a murder by another name
is there anybody here whose pride is on the line
with the honour of the brave and the courage of the blind
i want to see him i want to wish him luck
i want to shake his hand
want to call his name
put a medal on the man
put a medal on the man
put a medal on the man
