It started off as innocent fun, a stranger in a foreign land.nA boy with a gun and no name, seeks compassion with a girl in hand.nnWhen your conscience taps you on the shoulder,nyou'll be a little wiser and older.nNot even we can save the children of dust,nnot even we can save the children of dust,nWell not even we can save the children of dust.nnTask completed but you lost face,nreturning home the conquering saviour.nThe little girl who lives next door,ntakes a shine to your cool behaviour.nnA steady job and a nice clean house, part of your parents scheming.nThe past will always catch you out, in 'Nam a child is screaming.nnYouth has gone now, the past is settled, you'll pay for that night of lust.nA million miles, a promise, and a child of dust.n
