Lyrics

Body count!
The more I see of it, the less I'm in
But it's one of a dozen ways to make amends
1, 2, 3, 4, count the children
Don't make me listen, woah-woah
I know, I know more than I should
But there is no other way to make us look good
1, 2, 3, 4, count the children
Don't make me listen
But you could be a hero for the rest of your life
They need you, oh, they need you
Tell that to their fathers who have tears in their eyes
They won't hear you
('Cause he's a dead giveaway by the look on his face)
Spill the blood of a sister, a direct command
And there is no heavier weight on the back of a man
1, 2, 3, 4, count the children
Don't make me listen
Black trees, red sky, that's how we left the scenery
Don't ask me why, I don't give the orders
I go, I try, but I can't turn the men around
I'm just one guy, I don't make the borders
But you could be a hero for the rest of your life
They need you, woah, they need you
Tell that to your father when you're down on your knees
He won't hear you, he won't hear you
('Cause he's a dead giveaway by the look on his face)
The more I see of the less I'm in
But it's one of a dozen ways to make amends
1, 2, 3, 4, count the children
Don't make me listen
