Baby Soldier (Ethnic Cleansing)

Someone tell me where we are not all that close, not all that far Marching feet and distant drums but I can't see where they come from.. Baby Soldier with angry eyes filling empty space with hate for fat old men made fat on lies it's not your fault..........it's just your fate Baby soldier Slaughter in the market place You heard their cries, you saw their face How then can you sleep at night? How dare you say, "everything alright" Baby soldiers with empty eyes empty minds refilled with hate for fat old men made fat on lies while baby soldier licks the plate Baby soldier Dancing in a rain of fire Just one more death for your empire but baby soldier dies alone his soul is gone his heart is stone Baby soldier with empty eyes filling empty space with hate for fat old men made fat on lies It's not your fault It's just your fate Baby soldier Baby soldier lay it down the crops won't grow in blood soaked ground but baby soldier cannot hear above the sound of hate and fear baby soldier with angry eyes feeding on their hate and fear while fat old men get fat on lies everyone dies that's why you're here Baby soldier Someone tell me where we are not all that close not all that far.
