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? |
