   I woke up this morning, 
        Dm        Gm
hunger was gnawing my soul
D#         Dm             Gm    
   But the preacher man's 
        D#     Dm         Gm
sermon, won't put no food in my bowl
D#      Dm        Gm    D#     
   Abidjan to Monrovia, looking
      Dm        Gm
 for food and a home
  D#            Dm            Gm

           D#          Dm     
armies, in the middle of a combat

Here in this tribal warfare, for 
D#             Dm        Gm

          D#        Dm        
I signed up, whose side I don't

care, at least now I'm someone
     D#            Dm          
At parade time the grown-ups are 
    Gm         D#         Dm     
cruel, and all of the soldiers 
     Gm
are small
   D#            Dm       
Commanders and captains and 
    Gm          D#
