Fifteen - Land Mine
Off of the album "There's No Place Like Home (Good Night)"
Land mine blew my legs off
Now I sit by the subway station
Now I ask for change, you turn your head and walk away
I was a kid once, I got forced into it
I couldn't afford college, I didn't have a deferment
They call it service - dismemberment
They call it service - amputation
Gemany, Panama, Lebanon, Korea
Vietnam, Philippines, Iraq
This time it's Bosnia
Favorable statistics and smiling confident presidents
Couldn't ever portray an eighteen year old
Cut in half - never gonna walk again
Never gonna run again
Never gonna stand again
Jail all the owners of the mainstream media
For the crimes of violence against humanity
Jail all the owners of the defence industry
For the crimes of violence against humanity
Jail all the owners of the presidents and senators and congressmen
For the crimes of violence against humanity
Jail Ted Turner, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Henry Kissinger, and Al Haig
For the crimes of violence against humanity.
