[Intro] Private John Kane. Somme. July 1st. [Verse 1] I left my home at break of day. With brothers by my side. We marched to France to fight the war. With nothing left to hide. The whistle blew~ the earth went black. We climbed the trench wall. I saw the boys on left and right. The first to fall. [Chorus 1] We are the for-got-ten. We died for you. We are the for-got-ten. You never knew. [Verse 2] A medal pinned up-on my chest. The crown said "well de-served." But crowns don't give you back your legs. They give you what you've earned. I beg on streets of Lon-don now. My bowl is out for pen-ce. The same flag that sent me out. Won't send me no as-sis-tance. [Chorus 2] We are the for-got-ten. We died for you. We are the for-got-ten. You never knew. [Verse 3] The doc-tors cut my limbs a-way. But they can't cut my pride. I saw the en-e-my run a-way. I saw my brothers die. My name is carved in stone out there. On Somme's e-ter-nal field. The same earth that took my legs. Will never make me kneel. [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] He left his home at break of day. His brothers stood beside him. They marched to France to fight the war. Now he begs on London streets. [Final Chorus] We are the for-got-ten. We died for you. We are the for-got-ten. You never knew. We are the for-got-ten. We are the for-got-ten. We died for you. [Outro] We are the forgotten. We died for you.
