THE NEXT SOLDIER
Lyrics by Sean Rasul
VERSE:
Signed my name on the dotted line
In 1995
Never knew that 10 years down the line
I?d be fighting to stay alive
Now I?m here onthis battlefield
Brave yet afraid to die
Far away from my wife and my child
Unaware that soon will I
CHORUS:
I will be the next soldier
I will be the next soldier
I will be the next soldier
To die in the war
VERSE:
The king?s got oil in his pockets
And blood on his hands
While we bury our loved ones
Who fall in far away lands
Soldiers they died yesterday
Some will die tomorrow too
Can you tell me how many will die
Before the war is through?
CHORUS:
Who will be the next soldier?
Who will be the next soldier?
Who will be the next soldier
To die in the war?
RAP:
One, two, three, four
Already dead
When I walked out the door
On my way
To meet Uncle Sam
Look at me now
I?m a soldier man
Now I didn?t die in the war on the street
And I didn?t die in the fight for Tikrit
But every day a solider may die
For money, for oil
Now ask yourself why
CHORUS
AD LIBS:
In Afghanistan
In Iraq
In Somalia
In Syria
In Iran
In Palestine
In America
In the ghetto
