Six Seasons
Lonely as the contact
Silently the phone rings
Umber is my stomach
As I sit all wound in stings
Far away was the country
That sent me on this call
I know you know I am here
And wanting away from it all
When I told them no
This was the reason
Now I sit here beaten
Their terrorist and I believe them
Students from a conflict
In a country I now forget
Something about a rebellion
And I really have to sh#t
I started having siezures
From a illness I sometimes get
Lord ease my Downs Syndrom
And Altizheimers let me forget
Starvation eat my time away
And pains show me regret
I went away for the government
And now it's time to repent
I thought we were in Korea
I asked for the leader to take me there
One phone call to Korea and my dime will be well spent
My phone call went straight through
And I cried and begged and lied
I prayed and sang and talked about
Another time I said goodbyes
I still sit here all bound up my clothes are in rags
While talking to another guy I
Tripped upon over filled body bags
My body aches my mind bakes
And I don't think I remember English
While talking with another guy
He made a spirtual journey
Another call to Korea and they make me wish for death
I think I spoke to the president
His words were under his breath
He prayed he payed this awful rent
For this his effort my time here is spent
I don't remember home I don't know where it is
I hear your voice clear as day but the words are always bent
Your wife let me speak in Iran broke and lent
I don't understand your tone but the effort is well spent
I am sure your home is as nice as his but I am hungary
As I said before
When I get to your house
You'll be waiting at the door
444 days went by I got to the USA again
But these freakin guys nabbed me up
And drug me out the port
"A bay?", "No a gulf!" "Yea I remember the game"
A map I can remember the torture is the same
I got to go home again
I got shot by a machine gun
A create full of bodies
And a bad guy to blame
I am sorry about your suit sir
But I hate this awful game
