Prisoner of War
Prisoner Of War
Caught in your draft
With no uniform
Facing battle
Of a new form
Never was much
For walking in line
Yet the earth shifted
This round is mine
Was not warned
Never warned before
Captured as your
Prisoner of war
Fought my battles
Seen loved ones lost
Paid the prices
Suffered the costs
Done the routines
Got tough in the rain
Mastered the art
Of sucking up pain
But I was not warned
Never warned before
Captured as your
Prisoner of war
March, march
keep in line
Suck it up princess
This isn't the time
Not here, not now
This ain't the place
Smack a smile
Upon your face
Caught in your draft
Out of uniform
What battle is this
Where did you come from?
For falling in love
Ain't ever had the time
So take your grenade
Get out of my mine
Was never warned
Never warned before
Captured as your
Prisioner of war
March, march
Stay in line
This ain't the place
It ain't the time
Suck it up beauty
You haven't got the right
You're not allowed to fall
In love tonight
Was not warned
Never warned of you
Captured as your
POW
Never warned before
Now a prisioner
Your prisioner of war
