| You say you’re happy
|
| But you look so sad
|
| Did you think I would keep this bitter tongue
|
| Behind crooked teeth and angry gums?
|
| Now you’re upset
|
| But you’ve gotta admit, it’s catchy
|
| Not that I think you care
|
| But I don’t feel right being here
|
| I’m not gonna make it after all
|
| I am the last of my kind
|
| Just a yank in southern battlefields
|
| Behind enemy lines
|
| And alone to find out how I wound up here
|
| Every mistake, a reason to run
|
| But a good soldier marches on
|
| Knowing the worst may be still yet to come
|
| You don’t want to hear it
|
| When you could be wrong
|
| What’s a house? |
| A bed? |
| A pillow? |
| A shed?
|
| If you got no trust then you got no chance
|
| You’ve got problems
|
| And your bags are getting heavy
|
| Not that I think you care
|
| But I don’t feel right being here
|
| I don’t think I’ll make it after all
|
| I am the last of my kind
|
| Just a yank in southern battlefields
|
| Behind enemy lines
|
| And alone to find out how I wound up here
|
| Every mistake, a reason to run
|
| But a good soldier marches on
|
| Knowing the worst may be still yet to come
|
| It was right before our eyes
|
| I am sorry but I had to write a song
|
| About how you were wrong
|
| I’m not even sure you were
|
| But dear, that’s how I cope
|
| It’s all I know
|
| Now we’re both casualties in this
|
| And every kiss and every word
|
| They were bullets spraying hazardly from lips
|
| I am the last of my kind
|
| Just a yank in southern battlefields
|
| Behind enemy lines
|
| And alone to find out how I wound up here
|
| Every mistake, a reason to run
|
| But a good soldier marches on
|
| Knowing the worst may be still yet to come
|
| And the worst may be still yet to come |
