Lyrics
My name is Mikhaelo I like to play with shiny toys I'm just a child Like other little boys What's leukemia Won't somebody tell Is it as pretty As this little bullet shell My name is Hanan I'll be dead within a year But if I could speak And if somehow you could hear I'd ask some questions Maybe some that you could answer Like what's uranium And why was I born with cancer I'm Juanita For me, life's been short and strange Born with no arms Here beside the bombing range They call it DU The stuff that made my life this way And my parents were arrested At the protest yesterday I have no name On this military base Born and died here A child without a face To serve his country My father went off to war And it followed him home Back to the Mississippi shore I am your baby The poisoned children of the earth And I will haunt you Wherever you give birth In the war zones Whichever side you're on Because the dust is never settled Once the battle's dead and gone Yes, I'm the future Of a planet on it's knees Radiation Sickness and disease I'm all the armies I'm the life that couldn't be And when you see another baby Think of me When you see another baby Think of me ---- Created June, 2001 Copyright David Rovics 2001, all rights reserved
