Tin Soldiers
waiting in line
tough and tested
and the there were nine
Nine tin soldiers
don't have to wait
someone suggested
and then there were eight
Eight tin soldier
believing in heaven
prayed real hard
and then there were seven
Medivac medivac
please come soon
take me back take me back
please have room
Seven tin soldiers
taught all the tricks
caught in a crossfire
and then there were six
Six tin soldiers
with no place to hide
from the in coming
and now there are five
CHORUS
I feel warm blood
in my palm
it's real my blood
I am calm
it flows - I hope
I feel no pain
I know - I hope
it's not in vain
Five tin soldiers
there's not many more
got in a firefight
and now there are four
Four tin soldiers
and it's too dark to see
snagged a tripwire
and then there were three
Three tin soldiers
brave and true
and then they got mortared
and then there were two
CHORUS
Will you die for your country
or for good or evil?
Will you die for the movies
will there be a sequel?
Unwarranted action
provockeing destruction
men killing men
fulfilling their function
The kiss of death for a piece of pride
saddle up, saddle up
saddle up and ride
Two tin soldiers
started to run
when a sniper got lucky
and then there was one
One tin soldier
threw down his gun
walked all the way home
and then there were none
CHORUS
See to the end of the story
run to the end of that road
forget the guts and glory
the pain you'll never know
please come soon
take me back take me back
please have room
With the coming 'Surge' {i.e. Escalation} and over 3000 U.S. Military Personal Killed, how many More will be added to the Earth, as well as the Iraqi Innocent................
