Someone tell me where we are
not all that close, not all that far
Marching feet and distant drums
but I can't see where they come from..
Baby Soldier with angry eyes
filling empty space with hate
for fat old men made fat on lies
it's not your fault..........it's just your fate
Baby soldier
Slaughter in the market place
You heard their cries, you saw their face
How then can you sleep at night?
How dare you say, "everything alright"
Baby soldiers with empty eyes
empty minds refilled with hate
for fat old men made fat on lies
while baby soldier licks the plate
Baby soldier
Dancing in a rain of fire
Just one more death for your empire
but baby soldier dies alone
his soul is gone his heart is stone
Baby soldier with empty eyes
filling empty space with hate
for fat old men made fat on lies
It's not your fault It's just your fate
Baby soldier
Baby soldier lay it down
the crops won't grow in blood soaked ground
but baby soldier cannot hear
above the sound of hate and fear
baby soldier with angry eyes
feeding on their hate and fear
while fat old men get fat on lies
everyone dies that's why you're here
Baby soldier
Someone tell me where we are
not all that close not all that far.
