See the world that's what the poster said
Were they messing with my head ?
No mention of killing the common foe
As I signed up and to France I must go
I was seventeen and it was January 1915
The horrendous sights I saw were bloody and obscene
I look back to that fateful and unforgettable day
When I saw that poster that promised to take me away
I survived that war came back to tell my story
What price killing and what price glory ?
