do you know how it feels to be down in the dirt   with a bullet in your breast and blood on your shirt   lying in a bloodpool down in a pit   covered with the corpse and the blood and the shit   how does it feel to have a gun to your head   when you know that you'd be much better off dead   looking right down through the barrel of a gun   don't try to tell me that you think it's fun   praying for your mercy don't say you see the light   what difference does it make if the good lord's right   at the end of a war the survivors are none   b'cos war is a loss a war can't be won   you're just another soldier and you're doing the dying   you're a symbol of a nation so boy stop crying   hero of a war such a man so brave   a medal's worth nothing when you're lying in your grave      do you know the pain   marching into history marching into war   can you feel the shame   marching into misery you function as a whore      5 o'clock in the morning and they shout out your name   but they don't really care cos you all look the same   now this is the army and we train to kill   our job is to give you that fighting will   so get off your knees and stand straight like a man   do I have to tell you twice to make you understand   freedom has a price and that price is blood   so chase the motherfucker right down in the mud      Chorus      ignore all your feelings just go all the way   if you don't then death is the price you have to pay   this ain't peace and love no man this is war   don't even dare to ask what you're fighting for   just search and destroy never question a lie   you don't want to bite the bullet boy you don't want to die   don't try to tell me that you couldn't kill a man   that's a load of fucking bullshit boy I know you can      Chorus
