lyrics

plastic soldiers

we’re not who we say we are
we were never in the stories we tell
it’s just the proud names we took
but this is the real skin we choose to wear

it’s too late for us
that ship has sailed it's long gone
how can i wait for us
when all you know is what you don't want

what happened to the people that
i thought i know?
who am i to tell them
that their hearts are wrong?

we are the plastic soldiers
in a revolution you can’t understand
i never hated anyone

we are the plastic soldiers
you were never my kingdom
we were never the same
i never begged you for anything

i’m not who they say i am
and i don’t want to hear the loyal songs
that they sing
it’s just my name they took
but these are the colours i refuse to wear

it’s too late for us
that ship has sailed it's long gone
how can i wait for us
when all you know is what you don't want

we are the plastic soldiers
in a revolution you can’t understand
i never hated anyone

we are the plastic soldiers
you were never my kingdom
you were never the same
i never begged you for anything

we’re holding on, we’re holding on,
alba we’re holding on for you

what happened to the place that i called my home?
