Lyrics:

(Intro)

When you're used up
Where do you go?

Soldier

Mother, dry your eyes
There's no need to cry
I'm not a boy
It's what I signed up for

When you're used up
Where do you go?

Soldier

I can't take the heat
And I hardly sleep
Anymore

What'd we come here for?

(Solo break)

Standing out here in the desert
Trying to protect an oil line
I'd really like to do my job, but . . .
This ain't the country I had in mind

They call this a war on terror
I see a lot of civilians dyin'
Mothers, sons, fathers, and daughters
Not to mention, some friends of mine
Some friends of mine

We're supposed to leave last week
Promises they don't keep
Anymore

Gotta fight the rich man's war

(Solo)

When you're used up
Where do you go?

Soldier

Late in 2004
Come's a knock at the door
It's no surprise

Mother, dry your eyes
Mmmmmmm
Mother, don't you cry, no, no
Some one told you a lie, yes they did
Why?
Ohh!

Mother, don't you cry, no, no!
Mother, don't you cry

Mmmmmm!

Hey, when you're used up
Where do you go?

Soldier                         *** hit that high one! ***
