Who's left when the war is won?
You measure peace with guns
A E I O
A little corn, a little beans
What's good in what you've done?
This world is not your toy
This world is, this world is
Soldier on foreign soil
And people die for the little things
What's good for everyone
This world is not your toy
Long on hunger, short on joy
This world is long on hunger
Long on hunger, short on joy
Ah, boy, boy
This world is not your toy
This world is short on joy
This world is, this world is
You try to take the slack
Progress in mega-tons
Not quite the way you would
Stay awake and watch His back
I'm not here to fight your war
You gonna keep the world hungry, boy?
And someone breaks into the promised land
Though it's generally understood
Soldier of misfortune
War rages at a fever pitch?
But something happens every now and then
Soldier of an angry call
How much longer
I know what you're fighting for
How much longer
Ah, boy, boy
What's good about a world in which
You speak as if you know
Ah, boy, boy
