p.o.w.

Prisoners of war

They won't walk another step

They're just tired and they're fighting each other again

Prisoners of war

They don't need me anymore

I'll just play my Jew's harp at the prison door

And it don't seem right to make them fight all night

And it don't seem right to let them be all right

Prisoners of war

They're just humans after all

And what does it matter if they get away?

Prisoners of war

They won't need you anymore

All these borderlines have lied to us before

And they've got to stick together

And they need to love each other

And they need to stick together to survive

And they don't know where they're going

They've just got to get away from all the soldiers

That would like to see them dead

Prisoners of war

There's no need to feel so down

You've got so much left to live for probably

Prisoners of war

I'd like to apologize

I see you've got your own nooses and I've got mine
