‘Stop, listen, don’t make a noise, this is vital
Your survival, could depend on this recital
Elbows on the ground, crawl without a sound
Goddamn it men, you’re being too loud
Do you want to die? And make your children cry?’
With a sigh , I look up to the sky, full of stress
Is this what I want to do? My life is a mess
Blessed, with a loving family, I threw it away
So I could say, I did my part for my nation
That no longer matters, I’m growing impatient
Sick of this desert, of all the sleepless nights
All our stupid fights, we’re sacrificing our lives
For what? So we will be remembered as heroes?
I feel like an unwanted car, my mileage is zero
Nothing I have done in life, has ever been right
This solemn and lonely plight, is without sense
But still I’m on the fence, I don’t know what to do
So I’m praying to you, please aid me in my struggle
‘Reload quickly, believe me men, this is no game
Ok now aim, pull the trigger, your life won’t be the same
The thrill is indescribable, you’re clearing the scum
Now stop day dreaming, and start cleaning your gun’
While I shove this rod, in and out of the grimy barrel
I think of Carol, and my children miles away, at home
Dreamingly I roam, around our army camp, alone
Walking with a limp, the repercussions of this war
My whole body is sore, my heart, penetrated and tore
By a feeling of loss, In my mind I’m reeling and lost
Going nowhere, but my mind is all over the world
My son and my baby girl. My gem and my pearl
I walk absent minded, into a shooting pasture
The words that I hear, make up my mind
I hate the bastard, I’m gone from this life
‘Copernicus, You idiot. Move your fat ass
Get off the grass, and go clean your firearm
Now commence with the practice, aim higher Tom
Copernicus, I said get off the damn, firing lawn’
I'm gone
