Naked as sin
 an army towel, covering my belly
 Some of us weep, some of us howl
 Knees turn to jelly
 But Next! Next!
 I was just a child
 hundred like me
 I followed a naked body
 a naked body followed me
 Next! Next!
 I was just a child when my innocence was lost
 in a mobile army whorehouse
 a gift of the army, free of cost
 Next! Next! Next!
 Me, I really would have liked a little bit of tenderness
 Maybe a word, maybe a smile, maybe some happiness
 But Next! Next!
 Oh it was not so tragic
 and heaven did not fall
 But how much at that time
 I hated being there at all
 Next! Next!
 I still recall the brothel [bad word]  the flying flags
 The [bad word] lieutenant slapped our [bad word]  thinking we were [bad word]  Next! Next! Next!

 I swear on the wet head
 of my first case of gonorrhea
 It is his ugly voice that I forever fear
 Next! Next!
 voice that stinks of whiskey
 of corpses and of mud
 The voice of nations
 the thick voice of blood
 Next! Next!
 Since then each woman I have taken into bed
 they seem to lie in my arms
 and they whisper in my head
 Next! Next!

 All the naked and the dead
 could hold each other's hands
 as they watch me dream at night
 in a dream that nobody understands
 and though I am not dreaming in a voice
 grown dry and hollow
 I stand on endless naked lines of the following and the followed
 Next! Next!

 One day I'll cut my legs off
 I'll burn myself alive
 I'll do anything to get out of life to survive
 not ever to be next
 Next! Next!
 not ever
 to be next, not ever...................
