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
