lyrics

United Nations
Words and Music by Mark Robinson and Tim Warner
Copyright 1991 SmallBoy Songs

Where's my children? Where's my shack?
Come back from the battlefield;
Now theyre blown off the map.
I'm standing at a distance
Can't touch the U.N.
They're watching and waiting
But who watches them?

United Nations
Peace keeping force
United Nations
Crucified me for the cause

They talked about freedom. They talked about peace
They talked about glory -
The pension that would be waiting for me.
I remember just this morning
My babies waving goodbye
I said 'a price for pride has gotta be paid'
But this price is just too high

United Nations
Peace keeping force
United Nations
Crucified me for the cause

I've seen death and I've got memories
Nothing left but the right to choose
Got a tin plate medal says I'm born to lose.

Set and squeezing in silence
And i can't sleep at night
I dont care who the winner is
And i don't care what's right
I can take a little heart ache
I can take a little grief
I can take a little God knows what
But don't take my babies from me.

United Nations
Peace keeping force
United Nations
Crucified me for the cause
