You can relax never hear their standard issue kicking in your door. You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don't blow holes in on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no-one kills the children anymore. And no one kills the law And no-one kills the children anymore. And no one kills the children anymore. Night after night Going round and round my children anymore. Night after night Going round and round my brain His dream is driving me insane. In the corner of some brain His dream is driving me insane. In the corner of some foreign field The gunner sleeps tonight. What's done is done. We foreign field The gunner sleeps tonight. What's done is done. We cannot just write off his final scene. Take heed of his dream. Take cannot just write off his final scene. Take heed of his dream. Take heed. heed. (Waters, The Gunner’s Dream 1983)(Waters, The Gunner’s Dream 1983)
