The Unbearable Price Of War

Album : Spirit Of The Anzacs (Deluxe)

Dear mum and dad I'm here in Vung Tau At the Australian field hospital Our APC drove right over a mine I'm lucky to be alive  Dear mum and dad it's been worse than I thought The wards over flowing no end in sight The triage the chaos the blood and khaki I was never prepared for this  The guns in the distant give way to the drum As the choppers come in with a roar The dustoff's arriving with wounded and dying Tomorrow I'll know there'll be more The unbearable price of war  Private Mick Poole was just twenty years old Played tenor horn in the Battalion Band One bloody moment they blew us to bits Young Mick and six mates lay dead  A siren has shaken me out of my sleep Pull on my uniform run to the ward Wish someone could hold back this terrible tide Keeps bringing this war to me  The guns in the distant give way to the drum As the choppers come in with a roar The dustoff's arriving with wounded and dying Tomorrow I'll know there'll be more The unbearable price of war  If you should need me I'll be here when you come An angel of mercy wearing our blood  The guns in the distant give way to the drum As the choppers come in with a roar The dustoff's arriving with wounded and dying Tomorrow I'll know there'll be more The unbearable price of war  The unbearable price of war
