The Offspring Jennifer Lost the War song lyrics

Jennifer lost the war today

You'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

I guess we're all just soldiers

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

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 a 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 headin' 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
