U.S. Military Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je pleure, je pleure

I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry

hey little boy your body's so soft so warm
Come with me my darling
You won't know that you've ever been born
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry

the lonely city
Alone, alone I cry
All those faceless people keep passing me by

I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry

Hey little boy
You come with me, come walk with me




I'll show you scenes in the city
That you boy have never seen

The song opens with a chilling verse that speaks to the seduction of a young boy by an unknown individual. The singer describes the boy as having a "soft" and "warm" body and urges him to come with him. The haunting lyrics "You won't know that you've ever been born" hint at something dark and ominous, possibly implying that the boy's life will never be the same.


The next verse describes the feeling of isolation that the singer experiences in the "lonely city." They cry alone, with faceless people passing them by. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the deep sense of pain and sadness that the singer feels.


The final verse returns to the seduction of the young boy, encouraging him to come along on a walk to see scenes in the city that he has never seen. The song ends with the chorus once again, emphasizing the singer's deep sense of sorrow and desperation.
