Reinforcements
I’m on guard again but unprepared to fend for myself in a battle
You won’t tell me why the shrubbery moves
Or why there always has to be subterfusion
You won’t even say «at ease»
After waging a costly siege
When a potentate ain’t so potent in his state he summons help fast
Unilaterally I withdraw
What was peace is now a grand coup d’etat
The Purple Heart for valour please
And no heart for you Denise
Reinforcements, reinforcements
I could use a strong rear guard
Reinforcements, reinforcements
First the left flank, then the right
I’d sooner work the PX tonight
Spoken: You intercept my S.O.S in order that no
News of my distress will ever reach the
Homefront and about my camouflage
Well, it didn’t work on you … in fact most
Things they tell recruits never seem to do
Raise my rank if I should last another night so tortuous
