When I was just a young boy all my friends they went to war
And I just stood there asking
What are you going for
My best friend he told me we're all boys just seventeen
Sign up now see the world
Taste it's wine and touch it's queens
I just stood there gasping not a word could I say
Then I caught my breath and shouted
Stop come back theres another way
I said just stick out your thumbs
They'll take you where you want to go
And if they don't take you maybe you weren't supposed to go
Seven years I come back
Back to that town I had to go
Had see my friends to left there
See my friends what they had to show
I Seen this girl and had to ask her
Which way would the people be
And she just started to laughing
Laughing there right at me
Oooh Mmmm I wonder Oooh Mmmm I wonder
So feel no pity people
For the person in the war
If all the people stopped fighting
There would be no war no more
Ooh I wonder just how farther they would go
Ooh Ooh I wonder just how farther they would go
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
I wonder just how farther they would go
Ooh Ooh I wonder just how farther they would go
