Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you're used up
Where do you go?
Soldier
Mother, dry your eyes
There's no need to cry
I'm not a boy
It's what I signed up for
[Verse 2]
When you're used up
Where do you go?
Soldier
I can't take the heat
And I hardly sleep anymore
What'd we come here for?
[Verse 3]
Standing out here in the desert
Tryin' to protect an oil line
I'd really like to do my job, but
This ain't the country that I had in mind
They call this a war on terror
I see a lot of civilians dyin'
Mothers, sons, fathers, and daughters
Not to mention some friends of mine
[Verse 4]
Some friends of mine
Was supposed to leave last week
Promises they don't keep anymore
Got to fight the rich man's war
[Verse 5]
When you're used up
Where do you go?
Soldier
Late in 2004
Comes a knock at the door
It's no surprise
Mother, dry your eyes
[Verse 6]
Mother, don't you cry, no, no
Someone told you a lie
Yes, they did
Why?
Oh
Mother, don't you cry, oh, no
Mother, don't you cry
[Verse 7]
Hey, when you're used up
Where do you go?
Soldier
Where do they go?
