Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They are young and they're kids
And believe what they see
They're toß do what they've been told
And so they walk away with open eyes
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
See their eyes
Open wide
They died before they ever cried
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
[Verse 8]
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war, yeah
[Verse 9]
They are blind, they can't fight
They want war
They are blind, they can't fight
They want war
[Verse 10]
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
[Verse 11]
They are blind and they can't fight
(You're gonna pay the price) They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
(You little devil in disguise) They want war
[Verse 12]
They are blind and they can't fight
(For takin' life with no regard) They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
(You'll go to hell and there' you'll burn) They want war
[Verse 13]
They are blind and they can't fight
(Children of the battlefield, please don't go) They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
(Little birds with fluttering hearts, please don't go) They want war
[Verse 14]
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
[Verse 15]
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
