He said "Son, have you seen the world?
|
||
|
|
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
|
||
|
|
Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid."
|
||
|
|
I said "That sounds pretty good."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Black leather boots
|
||
|
|
Spit-shined so bright
|
||
|
|
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
|
||
|
|
We marched and we sang
|
||
|
|
We all became friends
|
||
|
|
As we learned how to fight
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A hero of war
|
||
|
|
Yeah that's what I'll be
|
||
|
|
And when I come home
|
||
|
|
They'll be damn proud of me
|
||
|
|
I'll carry this flag
|
||
|
|
To the grave if I must
|
||
|
|
'Cause it's a flag that I love
|
||
|
|
And a flag that I trust
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I kicked in the door
|
||
|
|
I yelled my commands
|
||
|
|
The children, they cried
|
||
|
|
But I got my man
|
||
|
|
We took him away
|
||
|
|
A bag over his face
|
||
|
|
From his family and his friends
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They took off his clothes
|
||
|
|
They pissed in his hands
|
||
|
|
I told them to stop
|
||
|
|
But then I joined in
|
||
|
|
We beat him with guns
|
||
|
|
And batons not just once
|
||
|
|
But again and again
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A hero of war
|
||
|
|
Yeah that's what I'll be
|
||
|
|
And when I come home
|
||
|
|
They'll be damn proud of me
|
||
|
|
I'll carry this flag
|
||
|
|
To the grave if I must
|
||
|
|
'Cause it's a flag that I love
|
||
|
|
And a flag that I trust
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
She walked through bullets and haze
|
||
|
|
I asked her to stop
|
||
|
|
I begged her to stay
|
||
|
|
But she pressed on
|
||
|
|
So I lifted my gun
|
||
|
|
And I fired away
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And the shells jumped through the smoke
|
||
|
|
And into the sand
|
||
|
|
That the blood now had soaked
|
||
|
|
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
|
||
|
|
A flag white as snow
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A hero of war
|
||
|
|
Is that what they see
|
||
|
|
Just medals and scars
|
||
|
|
So damn proud of me
|
||
|
|
And I brought home that flag
|
||
|
|
Now it gathers dust
|
||
|
|
But it's a flag that I love
|
||
|
|
It's the only flag I trust
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
|
||
|
|
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
