Fad Gadget - "Unknown Civilian" lyrics
*** Complimentary Unknown Civilian Ringtone ***
No statues erected to this man
And now he is laid to rest
No medals pinned to his chest
He had survived two world wars
Worked all his life
When work was hard to find
Degrading jobs with little pay
And laugh it off
He'd shrug his shoulders
Tomorrow's another day
They built their empires
On rocks like this
They built their fortunes
The legacy to the poor
On rocks like this
The unknown civilian
A life of toil
While the hungry wait outside the door
And now he is laid to rest
No medals pinned to his chest
He had survived two world wars
Worked all his life
When work was hard to find
Degrading jobs with little pay
And laugh it off
He'd shrug his shoulders
Tomorrow's another day
They built their empires
On rocks like this
They built their fortunes
The legacy to the poor
On rocks like this
The unknown civilian
A life of toil
While the hungry wait outside the door
An unmarked grave in shallow soil
No medals pinned to her chest
No statues erected to this woman
And now she just fights for breath
She had survived two world wars
Worked all her life
And raised a family
A thankless job and never paid
She'd shrug her shoulders
And laugh it off
Tomorrow's another day
They built their empires
On rocks like this
The legacy to the poor
They built their fortunes
On rocks like this
While the hungry wait outside the door
The unknown civilian
An unmarked grave in shallow soilA life of toil
No medals pinned to her chest
No statues erected to this woman
And now she just fights for breath
She had survived two world wars
Worked all her life
And raised a family
A thankless job and never paid
She'd shrug her shoulders
And laugh it off
Tomorrow's another day
They built their empires
On rocks like this
The legacy to the poor
They built their fortunes
On rocks like this
While the hungry wait outside the door
The unknown civilian
An unmarked grave in shallow soilA life of toil
