Battle Lines of Green Soldiers

We lined up at dawn,

plastic boots

on the floor

Rows of green stood firm against the yellow tide

Plastic rifles raised, no fear in our molded eyes

The field was the living room rug,

battle lines drawn

Yellow charges came, we held the carpet ground

The biggest battle raged that day

Green against yellow, comrades fell away Broken limbs and scattered heads

We fought till the end in our toy soldier way (ohhh)

Yellow pressed hard, our front line broke in two

Green soldiers toppled,

paint chipped and bruised

I saw my brother fall,

rifle snapped in half

We pushed back hard

through the carpet grass

The biggest battle raged that day

Green against yellow, comrades fell away Broken limbs and scattered heads

We fought till the end in our toy soldier way (yeah)

Now only I remain,

the last green on the field

Yellow victory claimed,

but the cost

was real

The biggest battle raged that day

Green against yellow, comrades fell away Broken limbs and scattered heads We

fought till the end in our toy soldier way (ooh)

The rug is quiet now...

the battle won and lost
