Military Man

Mama take a look at your boy
He's a military man
Mama take a look at your boy
He's crying
Mama take a look at your boy
He's a soldier
Mama take a look in his eyes
They're colder
Mama take a look at your boy
He's a military man
Mama take a look at your boy
He's dying
Mama take a look at your boy
He's fighting
Mama take a look at your boy
He's frightened
They have trained your boy to kill-
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why
Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
He's a killer, yeah
Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama
Mama take a look at your boy
Obey the order
Mama take a look at your boy
Like a lamb to the slaughter
They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why
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
They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's marching
He's a soldier
Oh brother, oh mama
He's on the street
He's marching to the backbeat
