Unknown Soldier Lyrics

Artist: Casualties
Album: On the Front Line

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Joe is out of school, didn't fucking ask for much
Couldn't get a job, the marines his last hope
Down at the frontline, with a gun not a toy
Kill many men, not asking what for

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Joe's family, the comrades next to him
Die one by one, his luck is running out
Joe wrote back home, his parents unemployed
The rich is fuckin laughing, profits from the war

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Joe is off to die, for another senseless war
No arms, no legs - his mother cries at home
Joey wears the flag, so proud to fight for us
And for a government, that doesn't give a fuck

Marching to the left, marching to the right
Marching on the frontline, what a fuckin sight
Marching to the left, marching to the right
Marching on the frontline, what a way to die

Joey, Joey, Joey Tell me what you see now
Joey, Joey, Joey Please come back home now

Marching to the left, marching to the right
Marching on the frontline, what a fuckin sight
Marching to the left, marching to the right
Marching on the frontline, what a way to die

they sum it up perfectly. the government takes you from your family and then fucks you over for a war that has no point or goal. they make it seem like a glorious way to go but all that happens is you have your morals and ultimatly your life taken away from you. and for what? so that they can exert there power on helpless civillians? so that they can supposedly fight terror and find "weapons of mass distruction"? its a fucking sin what the government does to its people so we all need to stop being a bunch of pussys and fight back cuz "you can kill the protester but you cant kill the protest"

This song is just brilliant. Like they say: In peace: sons buries their fathers, in war: fathers buries their sons.
