My name's MikhaloI like to play with shiny toysI'm just a childLike other little boysWhat's leukemiaWon't somebody tellIs it as prettyAs this little bullet shellMy name is HananI'll be dead within a yearBut if I could speakAnd if somehow you could hearI'd ask some questionsMaybe some that you could answerLike what's uraniumAnd why was I born with cancerI'm Juanita For me, life's been short and strangeBorn with no armsHere beside the bombing rangeThey call it DUThe stuff that made my life this wayAnd my parents were arrestedAt the protest yesterdayLetras de cancionesI have no nameOn this military baseBorn and died hereA child without a faceTo serve his countryMy father went off to warAnd it followed him homeBack to the Mississippi shoreI am your babyThe poisoned children of the earthAnd I will haunt youWherever you give birthIn the war zonesWhichever side you're onBecause the dust is never settledOnce the battle's dead and goneYes, I'm the futureOf a planet on its kneesRadiationSickness and diseaseI'm all the armiesI'm the life that couldn't beAnd when you see another babyThink of meWhen you see another babyThink of me
