lyrics

So long, we're both makeshift machines, breaking down
Once they're done with us
We'll go back there, to the room with no light and we'll die
We'll die
Don't think, don't speak, you're not trained for this, don't ask don't tell
You're just a warrior
So stand up straight, take this gun and make your uncle Sam proud

Once we tell you these things we know, you'd be wiser just to let this thing go about hope
Once we tell you these things we know, you'd be wiser just to let this thing go about hope

So long bad dreams, we've got medicine to make you relax
Keep your fears quiet now
Forward, left right, show no mercy, let no soul be spared
You are a soldier now
Forward, right left, and a folded flag could be your reward
Remember that a coward is the enemy

Son, won't you stand up straight for me
Son, won't you stand up straight for me

Once we tell you these things we know, you'd be wiser just to let this thing go about hope
Once we tell you these things we know, you'd be wiser just to let this thing go about hope
