Lyrics
Cannon Fodder
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will not have a child, I will be wild
And not produce meat for your slaughter
No more cannon fodder
Company whip cracks at the break of dawn
Back break work the whole day long
They're coming for my daughter
Innocent cannon fodder
Every war is brutal, stupid, expensive and mean
If you take her, you also take me
Hiding by the water
Innocent cannon fodder
