                           Mercenaries Off Down That Road

Their medic got killed and I was sent
To stabilize their wounded and ignore their dead
And mind my own business in all other things
Because they weren’t who we were

Someone said that they were C.I.A.
And they were okay to see me; didn’t talk much
Our C.O. told me to stay away from them
After the unmarked dust-off lifted away

I got to thinking that the war I was assigned
Shouldn’t have been any of my business either
