Welcome To the Jungle

Welcome to the jungle, where you might not wake up the next day, Where your best friend just bought the farm, courtesy of a friendly mortar gone astray, And where Charlie's ghosts, come out to play. Welcome to the jungle, your innocence won't stay, In a bath of blood, it'll be washed away, While for the sins of some foreigner you pay. Welcome to the jungle, where disease will eat you away, And the bush grows thick, despite the chemicals they spray. Farewell to the jungle, you barely lasted a day, Just another body that they tossed into the fray, And now your body rots in this country, Far, far away.
