Soldier of Plenty (LP版)

Soldier of Plenty (LP版) - Jackson Browne (傑克遜·布朗)

Written by：Jackson Browne

God is great

God is good

He guards your neighborhood

Though it's generally understood

Not quite the way you would

You try to take the slack

Stay awake and watch his back

But something happens every now and then

And someone breaks into the promised land

Ah boy boy

This world is not your toy

This world is long on hunger

This world is short on joy

A E I O

You speak as if you know

What's good for everyone

What's good in what you've done

What's good about a world in which

War rages at a fever pitch

And people die for the little things

A little corn

A little beans

Ah boy boy

This world is not your toy

This world is

This world is

Long on hunger

Short on joy

How much longer

You gonna keep the world hungry boy

Ah boy

You measure peace with guns

Progress in mega tons

Who's left when the war is won

Soldier of misfortune

Soldier of an angry call

Soldier on foreign soil

I'm not here to fight your war

I know what you're fighting for

Ah boy boy

This world is not your toy

This world is

This world is

Long on hunger

Short on joy

How much longer

You gonna keep the world hungry boy

Ah boy
