Another Mother's Son

Assemble the troops, they have a job to do
Shipping them out to places brand new
Teach them to duck but never run
Take 'em young, make 'em think it's fun

Might come from a bomb, maybe a gun
There just went another mother's son

Business sees profits off a young man's blood
He can crawl in the sand, maybe the mud
March in the desert and bake in the sun
Fighting in wars that can never be won

Might come from a bomb, maybe a gun
There just went another mother's son

Walking mean streets in the dark of night
Foreign places where everybody fights
Looking for answers that will never come
No plan of action not a thing can be done

Might come from a bomb, maybe a gun
There just went another mother's son

We trade off our future for another man's gain
The rich man doesn't know the soldier's name
All talk, oil bought, leaders don't have a plan
Battle fought, shell shock, soldiers in the sand

Might come from a bomb, maybe a gun
There just went another mother's son

Some Mothers cry over sons that were lost
While strangers count the profits and cost
It goes on forever until the people say stop
But until then, the bombs will be dropped

Might come from a bomb, maybe a gun
There just went another mother's son
