My name is Lily
I'm 19 years old
No money to study
No boyfriend
I'm kind of bored
I went to the trade fair
To find a job
There I found a few guys from the army
They told me that I was smart and pretty

I'm goin' to war I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war
She's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war

My name is Lily
They told me that I could make it
They'll pay for my studies
So I will graduate
I went to the parking lot
To meet with my recruiters
I leave next week
Assigned out for four years
Six more months and I'll be ready
To drive machines and tow M16s

My name is Lily
I'm 19 years old
On my way to the black zones
Gonna do what I am told

I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war
She's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war
And she's too young

She's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war
