Jackson Browne - Soldier Of Plenty Lyrics
God is great, God is goodHe guards your neighborhoodThough its generally understoodNot quite the way you wouldYou try to take the slackStay awake and watch his backBut something happens every now and thenAnd someone breaks into the promised landAh boy boyThis world is not your toyThis world is long on hungerThis world is short on joyA-e-i-oYou speak as if you knowWhats good for everyoneWhats good in what youve done?Whats good about a world in whichWar rages at a fever pitchAnd people die for the little thingsA little corn, a little beansAh boy boyThis world is not your toyThis world is, this world isLong on hungerShort on joyHow much longerYou gonna keep the world hungry boy?You measure peace with gunsProgress in mega-tonsWhos left when the war is won?Soldier of misfortune--Soldier of an angry callSoldier on foreign soilIm not here to fight your warI know what youre fighting forAh boy boyThis world is not your toyThis world is, this world isLong on hungerShort on joyHow much longerYou gonna keep the world hungry boy?
