Enter The Haggis - Marti's Last Stand lyrics

Marti was a fightin' man Whose story should be told He was a son of circumstance He couldn't quite control His father gave him pellet guns And plastic hand grenades Had him marching up and down Like he was on parade Marti was a fightin' boy His parents made it clear Military college was his home For seven years They'd make a soldier out of him No matter what the price He said he was a pacifist They called it cowardice All I ever wanted to be was Left alone to live in peace But nobody would ever listen to me They forced a gun into my hands and Told me what to do with it Nobody would ever listen to me Marti was a fightin' man On graduation day Splendid in his uniform He smartly marched away And when the call to action came In battle he did rise Dodging blood and bullets and Indoctrinated lives Marti was a fightin' man The enemy was sure Both had drawn their guns And after that it was a blur Marti was the faster draw But purposely shot wide Peace to you my friend Was all he said before he died What is this world we've left our Sons and daughters now So full of hatred pain Hipocrisy and power We would not listen When they told us how they felt And so by God I hope we're happy now Marti was a fightin' man The eulogy was read Served his country well A brave young man is what they said What is this world we've left our Sons and daughters now So full of hatred pain Hipocrisy and power It's time we listen To the things they have to say By God I hope it's Not too late to change
