Different shades of green
I wear as my skin
The last command I must obey
As my commander says eehsobey

My lovers kiss still fresh in my memory
My mother's prayer kept safely in the armory
My daughter's doll I cling to for my sanity
As I wage my war for humanity
With spirit and boots I trample on skulls to sand
And I swim in lava to meet my nations demand
Ha! How I laugh with my knives and guns
And reminisce on how the last war was such fun
My heart beats to the National anthem and my mouth wiggles to the National pledge
Like a puppy, for my masters I play fetch
For every thing is never as it seems
For am I a proud soldier or a victim?
