I fight the government’s wars
Learned hate
I arrive on foreign shores
Hide your children
Barricade the doors
I fight the government’s wars
Told to hate
I follow that order
The government’s wars
I shoulder
Your culture will burn
My hate will churn
Why am I here
You won’t discern
I fight the government’s wars
You place your bombs
I’ll raid your village
Blindfolded and beaten
I will take your lives
Third world nation
You won’t survive
Ill equipped
For my might
Your land on fire
The soul of your country I desire
Praised for my combat
I will be rewarded
Forced democracy
You’ll be afforded
Civilians will thank me
For every atrocity
I fight the government’s wars
