Album: The Hunter - 1982

Blondie


"War Child" was written by Debbie Harry and Nigel Harrison, who had previously written the hits "One Way or Another" and "Union City Blue" together. The lyrics portray Harry as a war child (a child soldier) and reflect the violent environment of current wars, such as those of Cambodia and Middle East. It was first performed live in 1982's Tracks Across America Tour. A recording was included in subsequent live albums and VHS/DVDs.

In 2014, "War Child" was included in live setlists as a medley with Black Sabbath's "War Pigs".

War Child (song) - Wikipedia
I need city lights
Defence and weaponry
No way of knowing
My life expectancy
I learn resistance
Like I learn to see
A living witness
A lonely refugee I'm a war child
I'm a war baby
And that's the difference
Between you and me
I'm a war child

My occupation
Is being occupied
I stop at the corner
To be identified

Across the border
They pretend victory
I'm playing in the rubble
And dream a destiny

I'm a war child
I'm a war baby
And that's the difference
Between you and me
I'm a war child

You weren't discovered by Khmer Rouge
We hear of "the troubles" on the nightly news
PLO lovers courting after the curfew
Your father and brother have the West Bank blues
