State Of The Nation

I see them marching off to war
They're looking so heroic
I'm told they won't be gone for long
But that's a lie and they know it
Ten thousand gone they won't return
Never to be seen again
Strategic games is all we learn in the end
But they say

Don't you worry about the situation
(A message from the telephone)
They are out there fighting for the state of the nation
(I'm waiting for a chance to come home)
They'll always have to fight the alienation
(I realize I'm fighting alone)

When nightmares memories fades to dust
We'll get back on our feet again
This war has nothing to do with us
But somehow we're still involved in it

Well, don't you worry about the situation
(A message from the telephone)
They are out there fighting for the state of the nation
(I'm waiting for a chance to come home)
Don't you worry about the situation
(A message from the telephone)
They'll always have to fight the alienation
(I realize I'm fighting alone)

There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place I don't want to be anywhere else
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place I don't want to be anywhere else
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place I don't want to be anywhere

Don't you worry about the situation
(A message from the telephone)
They'll always have to fight the alienation
(I realize I'm fighting alone)
They are out there fighting for the state of the nation
(I'm waiting for a chance to come home)
They'll always have to fight the alienation
(I realize I'm fighting alone)

There's no place like home

There's no place like home
