about

I always wanted to write a song about Ender's Game. Someday that book will be made into a movie and it will own all!!!! It's easily one of the greatest sci-fi books of all time. it's arguably the greatest of all time. I won't argue it cause I don't like to argue, live and let live I say but i would not think poorly of someone who felt that way. someday I think I will make an enders game album. Bean needs some songs written about him too. Petra, Valentine and Peter too, hmmm...summer of 2012, look for it :) I think...i hope :P

lyrics

“Training Kids for War”
Chords: Capo 3 G C D

I maybe young but I see what they’re trying to do
It’s rare a kid like me is born let alone in battle school

We’re training all day and all night
I don’t get letters from mom and dad anymore
Training Kids for War

Let the games begin battle for the best in class
Im the youngest but my squad can adapt so fast

We’re training all day and all night
There’s not a safe haven or a friend to be found
The enemy’s gate is down

Training kids for War
This makes public school seem such a bore
We all know what we’re here for
Training kids for War

The buggers got us good but us humans won’t be tame
My team is all assembled we practice through this game

We’re training all day and all night
We don’t get letters from mom and dad anymore
Training kids for War

Chorus
