Military Man Lyrics

Mama take a look at your boy,

he's a military man.

Papa take a look at your boy,

he's crying.

he's a soldier.

Mama take a look in his eyes,

they're colder.

he's dying.

he's fighting.

he's frightened.

They have trained your boy to kill,

and kill some day he will.

They have trained your boy to die

and ask no questions why.

take a look at your boy,

take a look at your boy.

He's a killer, yeah.

take a look at him now,

He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama.

obey the order.

like a lamb to slaughter.

One day I will write for you a lovesong, mother.

As the children say: I love you, please hold me.

And you and I, we will live our life together.

Until that day when we die, I will love you, mother.

I will always love you.

I am writing from this war.

Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for.

And have you seen my children?

God bless them, kiss them,

and tell them that I miss them.

See I'm frightened in the dark,

mama, mama.

The blood is ankle deep.

and kill someday he will.

They have trained your boy to die.

He's marching,

Oh mama, oh mama.

He's on the street.

He's marching to the backbeat.
