Sent to kill in foreign lands

For reasons we don’t understand

Boots on the ground, the gunfire sounds

Think nothing as we shoot the next round

Within my sights, the enemy

It’s not another person that I see

Just an animal to me

It’s only natural they die for my country

Place them under our flag

The one they flew before was just a rag

Peace by lead, paint the ground red

Fill the morgues with bodies of their dead

They say we do not belong

But military might says that they’re wrong

Won’t be long, we’re far too strong

It surely won’t be a repeat song

We’ll take control of this land

Burn upon it the mark of our brand

One ideal realized by force

The ends will be justified, so we show no remorse

Who cares what happens when it’s over there

It’s fair as long as it inflates the shares

We’re not the ones whom pain is to bear

So let’s not pretend anybody back home cares

For stability, we’re faineant

From fight to fight, we brachiate

Our appetite for death, insatiate

Behold the guns of the patriots
