Futility

I saw a man die today I fired the bullet on my goverments say I didnt know him and he didnt know me But this i must do to set this land free Ive got a family back home i wish i was there I dont want to be here its for them that i care But i have no choice as im a soldier at war Sent in by the politicians to settle up the score When will westminister stop the sanction of murdering our sons Because its them higher say we must as i reload my guns Its such a waste such utter futility This wont stop the bloodshed and hostility I saw a man die today I pulled the trigger because he had to pay
