Its funny how you never knew what my name was,
Our only contact was a form for the election.
These days I find that you dont listen,
These days I find that were out of touch,
These days I find that Im too busy,
So why the attention now you want my assistance -
What have you done for me.
Youve gone and got yourself in trouble,
No you want me to help you out.
These days I find that I cant be bothered,
These days I find that its all too much,
To pick up a gun and shoot a stranger,
But Ive got no choice so here I come - war games.
Im up on the hills, playing little boy soldiers,
Reconnaissance duty up at 5:30.
Shoot shoot shoot and kill the natives,
Youre one of us and we love you for that.
Think of honour, queen and country,
Youre a blessed son of the british empire,
Gods on our side and so is washington.
Come out on the hills with the little boy soldiers.
Come on outside - Ill sing you a lullaby,
Or tell a tale of how goodness prevailed.
We ruled the world - we killed and robbed,
The fucking lot - but we dont feel bad.
It was done beneath the flag of democracy,
Youll believe and I do - yes I do - yes I do -
Yes I do -
These days I find that I cant be bothered,
To argue withthem well whats the point,
Better to take your shots and drop down dead,
Then they send you home in a pine overcoat
With a letter to your mum
Saying find enclosed one son - one medal and a note -
To say he won.
The Jam were a legendary British punk rock band formed in 1976 in Woking, Surrey, by the multi-talented Paul Weller. Influenced by artists like The Beatles, The Kinks and The Who, they managed to blend melodic sounds with a decisive rhythm and a punk charge that made them one of the most important bands in the British music scene of the 1970s and 1980s. The original lineup, consisting of Weller (guitar, vocals), Bruce Foxton (bass) and Rick Buckler (drums), remained constant throughout the group's six years of activity. The Jam released seven studio albums, including their masterpiece "Sound Affects" (1980), which topped the British charts. Their most representative songs include "Going Underground", "Town Called Malice", "The Eton Rifles" and "Start!" . After the band's breakup in 1982, Paul Weller continued a successful career as a solo musician, while Foxton and Buckler embarked on various musical collaborations.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
