Soldier

By: Jared Gills

I’m the soldier who’s been fighting for your free

I’m the soldier who’s been fighting for your greed

I’m the soldier who’s been forgotten over seas

I’m a soldier and you don’t give a fuck about me

 

American people sit back and forget about war

But I’m the one who’s stuck living with it

And half the population doesn’t give a fuck

Cuz’ now I’m illiterate and my job’s been given up

 

Chorus:

I need to get the fuck out of this home

That’s right leave the brilliant RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

The stars have fallen to the ground

And the flames burning north to go

GO!

 

People in the bar are sipping life away

But I’m here stuck with this fucking memory

Of carrying this rifle in my hand

And the strain of a 300 pound pack

 

Chorus:

I need to get the fuck out of this home

That’s right get away I NEED TO GET AWAY

The stars have fallen to the ground

And the flame is burning north to go

 

I’m the soldier on the frontline dying,

dying for your free

I’m the soldier on the frontline dying,

dying for your greed

I’m the soldier on the frontline dying,

dying overseas

I’m the soldier on the frontline,

and you don’t give a fuck about me

 

When I come home and look at the veteran’s parks

It shows that our nation doesn’t give a fuck

Well they’ve been butchered and fed to the dogs

And I will never fight for you

 

Chorus:

I need to get the fuck out of this home

That’s right leave the brilliant RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

The stars have fallen to the ground

And the flames burning north to go

 

I’m the soldier on the frontline dying

dying for your free

I’m the soldier on the frontline dying,

dying for your greed

I’m the soldier on the frontline dying,

dying overseas

I’m the soldier on the frontline, 

and you don’t give a fuck about me
