"Another song with lyrics by Graham Henderson telling us about the sadness, wrongs and contradictions of wars..."

"Again the lyrics fitted with my Da Killah Riddim and I liked the fact that people could listen to a conscious message while dancing..."
Onward righteous soldier
Off you go to war
We pay you and trained you
So off you go to war..
What are we fighting for ?
You don't need to know
You're a soldier and a soldier
Is duty bound to fight the foe..
But who is the foe in this war
What are we fighting for..?

Are we really seeking peace
Or is there someone's palm to grease
Are we liberators
Freeing the oppressed
Or are we the oppressors
In this sad a sorry mess
And didn't we once support
The power we condemn
And who was it anyway
Who gave their weaponry to them...
I think I read somewhere
We had a hand in that
Gee, I hope we aren't fighting to
Feed another rich fat cat..

We've had the war to end all war
That missed what it aimed for
There have been more between then and now..

But all have failed somehow
The war debts keep growing
Yet the peasants still aren't pleased
Gee, I hope we aren't fighting for
A greed to be appeased So
Onward righteous soldier
Off you go to war
We pay you and trained you
So off you go to war
There's a dictator out there
We want you to erase..
So we can find another one
We want to take his place
So onward righteous soldiers
Go fight and get it done
Let them see the light
At the end, of, your gun
of your gun..

Of your gun.
