We went there as children
We left full grown men
We learned how to torture
And betray our friends
Dutiful soldiers
Following orders
A house full of orphans
Like twigs in a fire
Do as you're told they said and that's just what we did
You tell me a secret and think I'll believe you
But I know it's likely a lie
You can't take an honest man at his word
But there ain't nothing good in this whole damned world
Sent on a mission
Cross enemy lines
We weren't to be noticed
No one should have died
But Watts was on lookout
He got scared and ran
We finally found him
Blood smeared on his hands
They said do as you're told and that's just what we did
You tell me a secret and think I'll believe you
But I know it's likely a lie
You can't take an honest man at his word
But there ain't nothing good in this goddamned world
