LYRICS FOR "Warchild"

Who will save the warchild baby
Who controls the key?
The web we weave is thick and sordid
Fine by me

At times of war, we're all the losers
There's no victory
We shoot to kill and kill your lover
Fine by me

Warchild, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial greed
Mind the warchild
We should mind the warchild

I spent last winter in New York and came upon a man
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless
He said, "I fought in Vietnam"

Beneath his shirt he wore the mark
He bore the mark of pride
A two inch deep incision, carved into his side

Warchild, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial greed
Mind the warchild
We should mind the warchild

Who's the loser now, I lose the loser now
We're all the losers now
We're all the losers now
Warchild, warchild
