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