We use boys for wars and girls for whores
Boys for wars and girls for whores
She's new, she's youth in bloom
Her blood's redder, her skin's softer
She is the vigour, She is the colour
She's new, she's youth in bloom
You do what you do to feel as good as you can.
We pulled her from the ground she grew up in
Shook off the soil and cut right through the stem
And she was new and beautiful
And displayed in our home
We use boys for wars and girls for whores
And your sons and daughters are our dolls and toy soldiers
We use boys for wars and girls for whores
We pulled her from the ground she grew up in
Shook off the soil and cut right through the stem
And she was new and beautiful
And displayed in our home
Make room for the fresh flesh
you came home with the fresh flowers
And I want a new skin
And I want a new everything
