Rich Man's War

Jimmy joined the army 'cause he had no place to go

There ain't nobody hirin' here since all the jobs went down to Mexico

Reckoned that he'd learn himself a trade may see the world

Move to the city someday and marry a black haired girlSomebody, somewhere had another plan

Now he's got a rifle in his hand

Rollin' into Baghdad wonderin' how he got this far

Ah just another poor boy off to fight a rich man's warBobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm

Red white and blue to the bone when he landed in Kandahar

Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl

A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the worldIt's been a year now and he's still there

Chasin' ghosts in thin dry air

Meanwhile back at home, finance company took his car

He's just another poor boy off to fight a rich man's warAh when will we ever learn?

When will we ever see?

Stand up and take our turn

And tellin' ourselves we're freeAli was the second son of a second son

Grew up in Gaza throwin' bottles

And rocks when the tanks would come

Ain't nothin' else to do around

Here just a game children play

Ah somethin' 'bout livin' in fear

All your life makes you hard that wayHe answered when he got the call

Wrapped himself in death and he praised Allah

A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door

Ah just another poor boy off to fight a rich man's war
