A Thin Line

All these soldiers standing big and strong... Who is going to catch you when you vanish from existence and all your dreams are gone... The bartender ask: What's your fancy tonight You replied man, I don't know Give me something that will take me to new heights I saw a veteran rolled up in a card board box Death before dishonor,come on government we are not asking a lot.... A brother down the street ,died in a telephone booth with a purple heart in his hand You offered a salute and a fancy band Are you feeling me I'm bowing to the masters on mended knee I love this country the red, white , and blue You come home suffering all burned out ,and confused Man has been tainted by war ,and destruction People are dying like it's natural or nothing Receiving news that another soldier has perished from afar... You can't pretend with the mind This phase of war will drip , drip , like time
