lyrics

jennifer lost the war today, they'll find her burned and raped
through it all she must have wondered, what have i do 
but nobody really cares today the world's a busy play
guess she must have really sinned
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 wrong to be afraid?
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
morality won't help her, when she lies silent in her morgue
and all our sorrows just don't count at all
but will the morning headlines even say that it's a shame?
what are we heading for?
seen it all before, silent on the ground as he's walking away
and i wonder how many more, everybody takes it like it's nothing at all
jennifer lost the war
