The sweat ran in rivulets from my body beset by dreams Of devastation and horror invading my my mind Body parts floating in pools of jellied blood Kids as young as ten now high on drink and drugs Why then did we give our lives To make the world a better place Why then the blood we shed for you Is good blood gone to waste You know, we bled for you, suffered, died To give you a better place But you laugh in scorn and hurl abuse Kick dust into our face
We suffered, we died to give you democracy Our bodies rot in foreign lands To give you freedoms speech But you hurl our dying in the faces Of those who died for you Oh you, the drug fueled simpletons Who don't even try to acknowledge What we gave up for you
