Lyrics
(Chorus) We all fall, casualties in the war, 'Cause we can't hear each other speak. We all fall, casualties in the war, 'Cause eyes have ceased to see the face from the crowd. The casualties aren't only those who have died. No, they are well out of it. The casualties aren't only the wounded, Tho they await burial-by-installment. (Chorus) The casualties aren't only those led away, Tho the cell is a cruel place. The casualties are many and a good number Outside the scenes of ravage and wreck! (Chorus) Now, war isn't just about guns and bombs. No, there are many variations - Man vs. Woman, young vs. old, Left vs. Right, just to name a few. (Chorus) You'll notice I didn't say good vs. bad. That's because we're all equal In the eyes of god, you know it's true - He made me, same as you. (Chorus) The face from the crowd.
