lyrics

So it goes I couldn't raise the cash,
To bribe the officer and dodge the draft.
But maybe it's not so bad.
Because I am not afraid to die.
And I could use some excitement in my life,
So I guess I'll do it.

Farewell my love I'll be home soon,
In a year or two it will all be over.
And I'll come marching back to you,
with this unfired rifle across my shoulder.

This is how i'm told it feels to be a man,
And everything will always go according to plan.

Break their lines, move up, and lose supply.
Break their lines or get marched into pieces.
I don't know why but surely there's a reason we're doing this,
Season after season, sha'mone.

Hello my love it's been 8 weeks since I wrote,
Tomorrows the day that I go over the moat,
So with trembling hands I'm afraid to confess,
That this may be the last you hear from me again.
x2

In my sights I saw my enemy frown,
Looked me in the eye as I shot him down.

Is this shit what my nation endorses?
Heroic souls turned to humble corpses?
To live in mud and blood when I just want to go home?
