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
