Jennifer Lost The War lyrics

Jennifer lost the war today

They'll find her burned and raped

Through it all, she must have wondered

"What have I done?"

But nobody really cares today

The world's a busy place

Guess she must have really sinned, now

Really sinned, now

I guess we're all just soldiers

But she was only six years old

Left to die by strangers

Her family waits

And if we're all just soldiers

Is it so wrong to be afraid?

Jennifer lost the war

Phoebe lost the war today

There must be some mistake

Say it happens all the time

And it's said and done

And Little Miss 1565

Your soul remains unclaimed

Guess you must have really sinned, now

Really sinned, now

Morality won't help her

When she lies silent in a morgue

And all our sorrows, well, just

Don't count at all

But will the morning headlines

Even say that it's a shame?

What are we heading for?

Jennifer lost the war

Seen it all before

Silent on the ground

As he's walking away

And I wonder how many more

Everybody'll take it

Like they've nothing to say

Jennifer lost, lost, lost, lost the war, now

I guess we're all just soldiers

But she was only six years old

Left to die by strangers

Her family waits

And will the morning headlines

Even say that it's a shame?

What are we heading for?
