Concrete Among the Rebels

Caught in a thicket, concrete among the rebels Hit with hard metal and then showered with shrapnel Shots fired. Get on the ground But I'm brick dry and the ground is my foundation So I am in no position to be taking such action I'm grounded. Man, I feel surrounded Disarmed and hung out to dry, a sitting duck Caught in a thicket, concrete among the rebels Cause lost and found, but found in tatters This isn't cause for celebration but all the same Loser takes all; lost all but emerged a sage I had stepped out of the scene for a shut eye Came back to find the scene completely rearranged And there hardly time to marvel at how strange I drowning man will catch at straw, and I'm flailing Trying hard but failing to grab my bearings You know how you can get a concussion In a freak accident and come back completely different? Yeah, that's the report I'm filing
