Текст песни One Tin Soldier - Me First and The Gimme Gimmes

Listen children to a story
Written long ago
′Bout kingdom on a mountain
And the valley far below
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own

Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won′t be any trumpets blowin'
Come the judgement day
But on the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away

So the people from the valley
Sent a messege up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the kingdom
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain
All the riches buried there

Now the valley cried with anger
Mount your horses, draw your swords
Then they killed the mountain people
Now they′ve won their just reward
As they stood beside the treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on Earth" was all it said

(Chorus)
