Oh mother I am so afraid I only started walking Just yesterday But now I've joined the cavalry And my head's been shaved And I cry like your baby But I'm trying not to break In the art of war Is there something more? Am I alone? I never know What I'm looking for Something more Sometimes I wonder If I were a bird Would I be so serious If my feet could leave the dirt? 'Cause down here I fear I've become Far too concerned With everything I'm given Nothing that I've earned In the art of war Is there something more? Am I alone? I never know What I'm looking for Something more Dear mother, I'm tired I feel I'm over my head I'm haunted, I'm wired I only wanted yesterday Next time I'm not trying This time I feel no pain I'm haunted, I'm wired Dear mother, I'm tired
