Lemmy told Rolling Stone,
After “Bomber,” it was one of the first songs I wrote about the Second World War. I wasn’t very worried about the Cold War; I was busy being a musician.
This was when Brian [Robertson, formerly of Thin Lizzy] came in on guitar. I remember it took Brian weeks to do a solo....
[Verse 1]
Another battle's over
It's a million soldiers
They never rise again
We lost a million friends
[Chorus]
You can't understand
If you weren't there
You felt different then
Marching off to war
[Verse 2]
Show no quarter
Delight in slaughter
Up for your last long ride
Maybe God's on the other side
[Chorus]
Don't try to understand
If you weren't there
You felt different then
Marching off to war
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Don't need no vindication
Fight for the nation
You know you're going to Hell
But you wear it well
[Chorus]
You'll never understand
If you weren't there
You felt different then
Marching off to war
Marching off to War was written by Lemmy & Phil Taylor & Brian Robertson.
Marching off to War was produced by Tony Platt.
