So you want to be a hero and go off to war?
Well first listen to me and learn how it is.
It's not like the films you watch every night,
a quick clean shot straight through the heart.
No... you hear the thud as your mate takes the round.
His guts blown out, blood and **** on the ground.
Oh sorry!!! You didn't think it would be like that.
Well wait untill you smell the blood and the crap.
Another thud and another one gone but this time
his grey jellied brain is spattered over you.
IF your lucky you might go like that.
If your not lucky you might step on a bomb.
"God oh god where have my legs gone"
Yeah, if your lucky they'll make you a pair,
but look a bit closer, your ***** are no longer there...
You think I'm joking when I tell how it is boy?
Well go off to war and see how it is.

Are you sure you want to be a hero?
Yes, in the mid sixties I did experience how it is
