  • It doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
    It makes no difference if you're black or if you're white
    All men are equal till the victory is one
    No color or religion ever stopped a bullet from a gun

    Out in the fields, the fighting has begun
    Out on the streets, they're falling one by one
    Out from the skies, a thousand more will die each day
    Death is just a heartbeat away

    It doesn't matter if you're left or to the right
    Don't try to hide behind the cause for which you fight
    There'll be no prisoners taken when the day is done
    No flag no uniform ever stopped a bullet from a gun

    Out in the fields, the fighting has begun
    Out in the streets, they're falling one by one
    Out from the skies, a thousand more will die each day
    Death is just a heartbeat away

    There's no communication
    No one to take the blame
    The cries of every nation
    They're falling on deaf ears again

    Out the fields
    Out in the fields, they are falling one by one
    Out in the fields, no flag has ever stopped a bullet from a gun
    Death is just a heartbeat away

    Out in the fields... Writer/s: Gary Moore
