Yusif - Third World Soldier Lyrics

It's time to tell a story that's been hidden all these years
Of children under tombstones and mothers shedding tears
Let's face the facts, we turned our backs
And now we're diggin' graves
But I won't be accessory to makin' people slaves
Take me now, as I am, I won't lie to you again
Take me now, I'm one of them
I'm a Third World Soldier
Shoot me down while you can
You kill the beast you kill the man, ya
Take me now as I am
I'm a Third World Soldier
I've seen the slums in Cairo, the many sick and poor
I've seen the slums in Rio, the wicked ways of war
The guns and bombs, the false alarms
The missiles in the sky
And in the midst of battleships I hear a mother cry
Take me now, as I am, I won't lie to you again
Take me now, I'm one of them
I'm a Third World Soldier
Shoot me down while you can
You kill the beast you kill the man, ya
Take me now as I am
I'm a Third World Soldier
And everywhere I look I see destruction
Bodies all around, children in the ground
And everywhere they're callin' it construction
There's nothin left to eat, the tanks are in the street
Take me now, as I am, I wouldn't die for you again
Take me now, I'm one of them
I'm a Third World Soldier
Shoot me down while you can
You kill the beast you kill the man, ya
Take me now, as I am, I won't lie to you again
Take me now, I'm one of them
I'm a Third World Soldier, take me now
I wouldn't die for you again, ya take me now
I wouldn't die for you again, well take me now
I wouldn't die for you again, ya take me down
I'm a Third World Soldier
