Gary Got a Gun |
| Gary got a gun, a camouflage uniform and a journey to a |
| strange land, |
| Never even saw the eyes of the man whose shot left him |
| bleeding into the sand |
| Out in the headlines they call him 'hero' |
| But if they can send you to war just to settle a score |
| then I’m sorry my friend you amount to zero |
| It was his life-long dream |
| Wanted to «Be the Best"like it said on the screen |
| So it’s straight into the infantry age of 18 |
| 6 months later takes a bullet for the team |
| Shot him down |
| Insurgent with a gun in an occupied town |
| Shot him down |
| And he’s hit the side hour later he died and he’s |
| homebound |
| All he ever knew |
| Was to follow through |
| Any order they would ask for him to do |
| Any place that they would choose to send him into. |
| Gary got a gun, a camouflage uniform and a journey to a |
| strange land, |
| Never even saw the eyes of the man whose shot left him |
| bleeding into the sand |
| Out in the headlines they call him 'hero' |
| But if they can send you to war just to settle a score |
| then I’m sorry my friend you amount to zero |
| And so the story goes |
| The photos of the troops and our super heroes |
| But every tribute to the boys it just propagate the lie |
| Of course he’s fucking brave if you’re sending him to |
| die |
| Shot him down |
| A nineteen year old kid with an average background |
| Shot him down |
| The story should be «why the hell was he there in the |
| first place?» |
| All he ever knew |
| Was to follow through |
| Any order they would ask for him to do |
| Anywhere that they would choose to send him into. |
| Gary got a gun, a camouflage uniform and a journey to a |
| strange land, |
| Never even saw the eyes of the man whose shot left him |
| bleeding into the sand |
| Out in the headlines they call him 'hero' |
| But if they can send you to war just to settle a score |
| then I’m sorry my friend you amount to zero |
| And poor old mum |
| Hangs his photo in the hall |
| And all the words they printed |
| They do not help at all |
| Gary got a gun, a camouflage uniform and a journey to a |
| strange land, |
| Never even saw the eyes of the man whose shot left him |
| bleeding into the sand |
| Out in the headlines they call him 'hero' |
| But if they can send you to war just to settle a score |
| then I’m sorry my friend you amount to zero |
| The worth that they gave to your premature grave was |
| zero |
| If they can send you to war just to settle a score you |
| amount to zero |
| If they can send you to war just to settle a score you |
| amount to zero |
| If they can send you to war does it mean any more now |
| they call you hero? |
