trained, armed and shipped away
told to make some commies pay
head to toe in army green
from boy to man, and just 16
day and night the fighting raged
who're the ones who really paid?
decades later in his bed,
he's k**ing people in his head
can't forget all of the blood
is punishment this endless rut?
a prison inside of himself
all the had to say is "war is hell"
endless slaughter, freezing cold
he always did what he was told
another shot to k** the pain
of millions dead and all in vain
it never truly left his head
he almost envies all those dead
barely survived the brutal 3 year tour
but still a prisoner of that war
war is hell
