It's So Hard For A Soldier

It's So Hard For A Soldier (4x)

It's so hard for a soldier

To server and stay sober

To serve and stay somber

To distinguish the enemies

To fight for freedom

To fight for honor

Your freedom to say you don't need them

I've seen how you treat them

When the world has no need for them

See I've been abandoned

And felt taken for granted

I followed all orders

Went to all borders

Followed every process

The truth they wanted less

A solidier's separated from family

A select few understand me

Holidays I think about something else

I couldn't be there myself

I missed a few funerals

Not a close enough relative

And to me it's all relative

It's So Hard For A Soldier (4x)

Now they want to take over

So you look over your shoulder

Then check in your holster

Remember what they told ya'

It's an issue if it was issued

No need for any tissue

You can't be subjected or subdued

See you're just the soldier

Built to take instruction

A capitalist construction

Built for the world's protection

The enforcement of objections

And an enforcer.

But could you happen to fashion

A little more compassion

I'm not ashamed of what I did

I'm not ashamed of how I lived

I didn't want to die for my flag

Just make my enemy die for his
