Jennifer lost the war today
you'll find her burnt and raped
Through it all she must have wondered
what have I done
But nobody really cares today
the world's a busy place
Guess she must've really sinned now
(Really sinned now)
I guess we're all just soldiers
She was only six years old
Left to die by strangers
Her family waits
And if we're all just soldiers
is it so wrong to be afraid?
Jennifer lost the war
Phoebe lost the war today
there must be some mistake
Say it happens all the time
and it's said and done
Little Miss 1565 Your soul remains unclaimed
Guess you must've really sinned now
(Really sinned now)
Morality won't help her
When she lies silent in a morgue
And all our sorrows just don't count at all
But will the morning headlines
Even say that it's a shame
What are we headin' for
Jennifer lost the war
Seen it all before
Silent on the ground
as he's walking away
And I wonder how many more
everybody take it
like it's nothin' at all
Jennifer lost (,lost ,lost ,lost) the war
I guess we're all just soldiers
She was only six years old
Left to die by strangers
Her family waits
But will the morning headlines
Even say that it's a shame
What are we headin' for?

Review about Jennifer Lost The War The Offspring Lost The War | Reviewer: JudicialBias | 9/15/09
This song is just proof that punk doesn't have to mean stupid and violent. The song talks about how society regards tragedies as everyday occurrences, since the media plays up murders, robberies, and acts of violence as an everyday phenomenon. It makes references to several young girls in history that have had this happen to them- namely Little Miss 1565, who died in the circus tent fire from the thirties or so- no one came in to claim her body, and her identity is still unknown today. All in all a great song by The Offspring, really touches on why exactly punk existed in the first place- because society has lost its humanity.
love it. | Reviewer: Shazam | 6/4/09
this song sounds like its really deep..
And it rocks!!
That's what i love about the offspring and WHY they are my favorite band!
Because they can write songs that make me wanna blast somebody's head off or punch em in the face, and they have no point but to get you agitated, but they can also write songs that strike you right down to the very core of your being. In my opinion, these guys got it all figured out. Life, and shit like that.
By the way, candichan...
don't act like you're so special just because you're female and you listen to the offspring.
I'm a girl too. Its not that uncommon.
Oh, why the hostility?! | Reviewer: Simoneer | 3/30/09
Seems like every fan of their first album feels obliged to hate their latter ones. Can't one like all? I sure as hell do. Old or new, if it's The Offspring, I'll listen to it. I don't think you can call yourself a fan otherwise, to be honest. But that's just me.
Anyway, for something more relevant: Superb song! Definitely one of my favorites by them, along with The Kids Aren't Alright and You're Gonna Go Far, Kid. Pretty much. Not the only songs I like, of course, but ''favorites'' as previously stated.

jeezus fuckin christ, that song still rips through my ears, and that one line "through it all she must have wondered, what have i done?" makes you think pretty damn hard as to how good you've got it. Offsping in the earlies were my fuckin fave, self titled and ignition get spun every once in awhile man and they sure stand the test of time.
fuck americana is right
up the punx down the emo!!

LOLOLOL @ Fee Punkass.
I agree with you both.
I'm sick of little teeny boppers and shit going 'OMFG, AS IF YOU LISTEN TO DA OFFSPRINGZ!!!11!!!! THEY'RE SO NOT MAINSTREAM.'
Just because they don't put in the time or effort to listen to some decent music, doesn't mean that they account for shit.
I love Offspring, always have, and people tend to think that there's something wrong with that because I'm a girl and it's not what I should be listening to. Fuck you guys man, I'll take these kinds of power fuelled lyrics over half the shit going around these days anytime.
I LOVE THE OFFSPRING!!! XD
most idiot person | Reviewer: Fee Punkass | 2/20/08
What ya think Hebbie Jeebie? No-one knows the first album? only people listening to the radio or watching tv don't know it.
Yeah that's a huge number of cunts, but after all what counts is that us, undergroud people, listen to it, we're the only people worth it on earth. Fuck them all, they can carry on listening to blink bitches and gloria guenor
most underrated song | Reviewer: Hebbie Jeebie | 8/21/07
this is probably their most powerful, and unfortunetly, underrated song to date. What blows my mind is it's the first song on their self-title debue album, and no one even knows it.
... fuck americana
