War Zone

It wasn’t our choice
To them we don’t have a voice
They snatched us from our homes
And put us in order like clones

The conditions were rough
You had to be tough
They gave us a gun
Then told us to run

We were left all alone
Like dogs without a home
My lifes a total mess
I just want to start fresh

There’s nowhere to go
I’m stray and all alone
