Gladiators
He's fighting a war in a far away land
He holds a picture of her in his hand
A mother, his lover, his best friend
A few months more, can't wait for this to end
Go with god they say
Fight for your country
And we'll all watch you on our screens
We'll applaud for our gladiators
For god and country
They follow the scriptures of a time long ago
They're afraid of change and things they don't know
Superstitions, religions are death wishes
Millions have died all for the cause
Go with god they say
Fight for your country
And we'll all watch you on our screens
We'll applaud for our gladiators
For god and country
Oh, say, we can see
He was fed into the war machine
Control, insatiable greed
We're all fed into the war machine
He lie on the ground face-down in the sand
Still gripping the picture of her in his hand
A widow, left riddled with grief now
His daughter will never know him
He holds a picture of her in his hand
A mother, his lover, his best friend
A few months more, can't wait for this to end
Go with god they say
Fight for your country
And we'll all watch you on our screens
We'll applaud for our gladiators
For god and country
They follow the scriptures of a time long ago
They're afraid of change and things they don't know
Superstitions, religions are death wishes
Millions have died all for the cause
Go with god they say
Fight for your country
And we'll all watch you on our screens
We'll applaud for our gladiators
For god and country
Oh, say, we can see
He was fed into the war machine
Control, insatiable greed
We're all fed into the war machine
He lie on the ground face-down in the sand
Still gripping the picture of her in his hand
A widow, left riddled with grief now
His daughter will never know him
