Lyrics

Cannon Fodder

I will not have a child, I will be wild

And not produce meat for your slaughter

No more cannon fodder

Company whip cracks at the break of dawn

Back break work the whole day long

They're coming for my daughter

Innocent cannon fodder

Every war is brutal, stupid, expensive and mean

If you take her, you also take me

Hiding by the water

Innocent cannon fodder
