Soldier of Plenty — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

God is great, God is good

He guards your neighborhood

Though its 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

Whats good for everyone

Whats good in what youve done?

Whats 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?



You measure peace with guns

Progress in mega-tons

Whos left when the war is won?

Soldier of misfortune--

Soldier of an angry call

Soldier on foreign soil

Im not here to fight your war

I know what youre 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?
