…..stayed at home..
Onward went they for freedom
whilst the leaders stayed at home.
Marched out they in order
with heads held high in pride.
Hoping for gold and glory
whilst the leaders stayed at home.
Quiet stole over countrysides
whilst factories did so too.
The workers heeded same calls
and swapped their tools for war.
Hoping they win victory
whilst leaders stayed at home.
Silence now in victory,
as marched they did back home.
What becomes of honour, Sir?
when foes of yourn lay low.
History often tells,
My Lord,
The Leaders stayed at home.
