My Debt

I owe no one but my military conscience Interrogating me speak! speak!! speak!!! And though I halt to say a word It never stops to pound my heart I owe no one but my military conscience spoiling all my immigration plans Lest I elope and break a leg I owe no one but my military conscience With search warrant it barges me My every nook it points it’s torch Making sure I didn’t hide a forge I owe no one but my military conscience With armored tanks it holds my way And when I try to force a sway It corks it’s gun to make me run I owe no one but my military conscience Day and night it blames me still And points the way I should have gone And wouldn’t stop until I’m right
