Marti's Last Stand |
Marti was a fightin' man |
Whose story should be told |
He was a son of circumstance |
He couldn’t quite control |
His father gave him pellet guns |
And plastic hand grenades |
Had him marching up and down |
Like he was on parade |
Marti was a fightin' boy |
His parents made it clear |
Military college was his home |
For seven years |
They’d make a soldier out of him |
No matter what the price |
He said he was a pacifist |
They called it cowardice |
All I ever wanted to be was |
Left alone to live in peace |
But nobody would ever listen to me |
They forced a gun into my hands and |
Told me what to do with it |
Nobody would ever listen to me |
Marti was a fightin' man |
On graduation day |
Splendid in his uniform |
He smartly marched away |
And when the call to action came |
In battle he did rise |
Dodging blood and bullets and |
Indoctrinated lives |
Marti was a fightin' man |
The enemy was sure |
Both had drawn their guns |
And after that it was a blur |
Marti was the faster draw |
But purposely shot wide |
Peace to you my friend |
Was all he said before he died |
What is this world we’ve left our |
Sons and daughters now |
So full of hatred pain |
Hipocrisy and power |
We would not listen |
When they told us how they felt |
And so by God I hope we’re happy now |
Marti was a fightin' man |
The eulogy was read |
Served his country well |
A brave young man is what they said |
What is this world we’ve left our |
Sons and daughters now |
So full of hatred pain |
Hipocrisy and power |
It’s time we listen |
To the things they have to say |
By God I hope it’s |
Not too late to change |
