The Va- Hell In Disguise

THE VA- HELL IN DISGUISE

Us Veterans know the deal, the rhetoric that thanks the VET for
	his/her service to the good ole US of A and promises to
	take care of us until death comes your way
Is nothing but words, watch out, the Vaseline is not far behind.
They will screw you and make it hurt, keep watching for the
	blood from your butt each and every day
And it becomes hard to control what you were taught and to
	look deep in your soul to find
The peace that war took away from you.

There are some that care at the VA, but they are far and very
	few and very hard to find,
Taking care of the VET is their number one priority is at the
	front door of every VA in this country,
The lie is blatant the soul of the VA is to hang around until
	the pension comes, until then we are commanded 
	to kiss their behind
And even if you die, that is not on us, in fact they keep score
	and remind us daily that they will be free
To add another Veteran to their list.
