Story behind the song
Again the lyrics fitted with my Da Killah Riddim and I liked the fact that people could listen to a conscious message while dancing...
Lyrics
Onward Righteous Soldier © Copyright APRA Graham Henderson 2004 Onward righteous soldier. Off you go to war. We pay you and trained you. So off you go to war. What are we fighting for. You don’t need to know You’re a soldier and a soldier. Is duty bound to fight the foe. But who is the foe in this war. What are we fighting for. Are we really seeking peace. Or is there someone’s palm to grease. Are we liberators. Freeing the oppressed. Or are we the oppressors. In this sad a sorry mess. And didn’t we once support. The power we condemn. And who was it anyway. Who gave their weaponry to them. I think I read somewhere. We had a hand in that. Gee, I hope we aren’t fighting to. Feed another rich fat cat. We’ve had the war to end all war. That missed what it aimed for. There have been more between then and now. But all have failed somehow. The war debts keep growing. Yet the peasants still aren’t pleased. Gee, I hope we aren’t fighting for. A greed to be appeased. So. Onward righteous soldier. Off you go to war. We pay you and trained you. So off you go to war. There’s a dictator out there. We want you to erase. So we can find another one. We want to take his place. So onward righteous soldiers. Go fight and get it done. Let them see the light. At the end, of, your gun.
