Lyrics
Killed In Battle
Used to be a person
In that body over there
Now there's only
Torn up flesh
Broken bones and hair
Used to be a smile upon what
Used to be a face
Now there just a pile of dust
Taken up that space
You can read about it
On the next to last page
She was killed in battle now
Not too sure about her age
She might have been past 42
Or maybe just 19
She was killed in battle
It's not a pretty scene
Bridge
She was killed in battle
That's the end of that
another one is next in line
Maybe yours Jack jack jack
Killed in battle
And she was just 19
Killed in battle
Oh it's such a terrible scene
Read all about it
Won't we ever understand
Killed in battle
Come on take it like a man
The economy is shattered now
What are we goin do
Why we'll start a little shooting war
And we'll splatter just a few
Another bloody sacrifice
To get those bucks a rolling
Look at the lords of monopoly
As they watch their profits growing
She was killed in battle
Aint ever coming back
Another one is next in line
Maybe yours Jack ... Jack ... Jack
Killed in battle ... No, No, No
Just 19
Killed in battle
Such an ugly scene
Read all about it
Won't we ever understand
Killed in battle
BRIDGE
It's over
She's gone now
You killer her
You killed me.
I was killed in battle
I was killed in battle
I was killed in battle
