Lyrics:

A soldier cut loose in Saigon
He used to be a farmer just like anyone
A soldier cut loose in Saigon
Even to his father he's a violent son

Someone built a wall in Berlin
Not to keep them out but to keep them in
Someone built a wall in Berlin
A permanent reminder of what's happening

We need a lot of love
Got to take a lot of pain
You can watch the river flood
But get washed away the same
Oh we know that things don't last
So we use the guiding tracks
Through the deadly ring of flame

Smoking in a room in Lebanon
The hotels serving but the hospital is gone
Choking in a room in Lebanon
Many people hurting still the telephones on

Standing on a street in Belfast
A city of division widows in black
Standing on a street in Belfast
Crunching of the feet on the broken glass

We need a lot of love
Got to take a lot of pain
You can watch the river flood
But get washed away the same
Oh we know that things don't last
So we use the guiding tracks
Through the deadly ring of flame

We need a lot of love
Got to take a lot of pain
You can watch the river flood
But get washed away the same
Oh we know that things don't last
So we use the guiding tracks
Through the deadly ring of flame
