The way they do my life, I just can't stand it
The way they do my life, they must have planned it
The way they do my life I just don't know
Makes me wonder what I'm living for
From a child they raise me to get older
just to make me one of their soldiers
killing people I know nothing of
When I was born I only knew my mother's love
The way they do my life, I just can't stand it
The way they do my life, they must have planned it
The way they do my life I just don't know
Makes me wonder what I'm living for
That's my money, Uncle Sam
for the rest of my life I'll be a working man
for things I could never call my own
'cause you got mine 'fore I was born
Oh, you close the door on my mother
and you put your signs to condemn my brother
for sister's sake I don't bother
cause it shows on the face of my father
The way they do my life, I just can't stand it
The way they do my life, they must have planned it
The way they do my life I just don't know
Makes me wonder what I'm living for.
I just don't know what I am living for
I don't know...
The way they do my life, they must have planned it
The way they do my life I just don't know
Makes me wonder what I'm living for
From a child they raise me to get older
just to make me one of their soldiers
killing people I know nothing of
When I was born I only knew my mother's love
The way they do my life, I just can't stand it
The way they do my life, they must have planned it
The way they do my life I just don't know
Makes me wonder what I'm living for
That's my money, Uncle Sam
for the rest of my life I'll be a working man
for things I could never call my own
'cause you got mine 'fore I was born
Oh, you close the door on my mother
and you put your signs to condemn my brother
for sister's sake I don't bother
cause it shows on the face of my father
The way they do my life, I just can't stand it
The way they do my life, they must have planned it
The way they do my life I just don't know
Makes me wonder what I'm living for.
I just don't know what I am living for
I don't know...

"Come decidono della mia vita... Fin da bambino mi avete cresciuto perché fossi più audace / solo per diventare uno dei vostri soldati / Di uccidere gente non ne so nulla / quando sono nato ho conosciuto solo l'amore di mia madre..."
