Private Lily

(álbum: Gee Whiz But This Is a Lonesome Town - 2007)

My name is Lilly
I'm nineteen years old
No money to study
No boyfriend
I'm kind of bored
I went to the trade fair to find a job
There I found a few guys from the army
They told me that I was smart and pretty

I'm going to war, I'm going to war
I'm going to war, I'm going to war
I'm going to war

She's going to war, she's going to war
She's going to war, she's going to war
She's going to war

My name is Lily
They told me that I could make it
They'll pay for my studies
So I will graduate
I went to the parking lot
To meet with my recruiters
I'll leave next week
I signed up for four years

Six more months and I'll be ready
To drive machines and tote M-16s
My name is Lily
I'm nineteen years old
On my way to the black zones
Going to do what I'm told

I'm going to war, I'm going to war
I'm going to war, I'm going to war
I'm going to war

She's going to war, she's going to war
She's going to war, she's going to war
She's going to war...
