Pentagon Approaches

The Government and all Pentagon approaches
I break the rules and break the law
The world is filled with dark forces
I have nothing but my mind to counter it with
The more we study truth
The closer we come to the meaning of life
What's in it for me and you
Selfish acts don't get us far
I can't tell you what the Commander says
We have argued over this subject "Tactical Errors"
Genuine education knows no boundaries
Is it he who dares wins, or is it he who cares wins
and there went caution I took 
Remember we used to just throw it in the wind
I opened a book and it said "Wisdom is stronger than mere force"
And then I opened the Bible to Deuteronomy and it said
"Now in case the journey should be too long for you
 because you will not be able too carry it"
That's diamonds being made under pressure
That's being a Valiant man doing what?
Rising to the occasion, dying for the occasion
As the truth hits you simultaneously
"Valiant men they rise to the occasion, Valiant men they die for the occasion"
