They are young and they're kids
And believe what they see
That to do what they've been told
And so they walk away with open eyes Some are eight or nine or ten, and they die like a fly
And no one knows, who they are
They're smaller than the gun they load See their eyes open wide, they died before they ever cried They die in the streets and they die in the fields
When they do what they've been told
But now they're lying dead, their eyes are closed Some are eight or nine or ten, and they die like a fly
And no one knows, who they are
They're smaller than the gun they load See their eyes open wide, they died before they ever cried
Who taught them how, how to pray
Who told them they're in paradise, when they're gonna die They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
(You're gonna pay the price)
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
(You little devil in disguise) They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
(For taking life with no regard)
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
(You'll go to hell and there you'll burn) They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
(Children in the battlefield, please don't go)
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
(Little birds with fluttering hearts, please don't go) They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
They are blind and they can't fight, they want war
