The Losers

The war was hard The battle tough But yet those soldiers did their part The worked their way Through thick and thin Just to hear their leader say well done They were loyal for their side And longed to continue to carry their flag high But when they heard that they'd surrendered They pleaded that they could keep going They could wait it out And they could win That tough fight They longed to walk home proud With the flag of victory at their side But instead they would walk home in rags The men began to leave When their leader suddenly spoke up and said Men I'm proud of you You played your roll well Go back home to your families And rebuild your towns Start a new life without me Do your victory dance because you fought well Don't go home a loser but a winner Because you made me proud So go home and make me proud
