Little Metal Soldier, marching off to war.

Little Metal Soldier, do you know what's in store?

Little Metal Soldier, are you ready to go through that door?

Little Metal Soldier, do you hear their cries?

Little Metal Soldier, do you see their tears?

Little Metal Soldier, will you think of them in the coming years?

Little Metal Soldier, do you know what you've done?

Little Metal Soldier, do you think that you've won?

Little Metal Soldier, your nightmares have just begun.

Little Metal Soldier, you say freedom isn't free.

Little Metal Soldier, tell me, why should this be?

Little Metal Soldier, can your guns give us serenity?

Little Metal Soldier, you are not to blame.

Little Metal Soldier, you didn't start this game.

Little Metal soldier, tell them, this is insane,

throw down your weapon and say, "Not in my name!"

Note: I wasn't necessarily thinking of any particular war when I wrote this, just war in general. though, it does apply to the Iraq conflict.
