The Next Big One

The blind, the maimed,
the psychologically damaged
each has a war story to tell

The hero's account is glorious
The coward's, we try to keep under wraps

Truth be told, in combat, everyone runs.
Some to engage, some to retreat
Some to run for their lives

The shame of it is the insanity of it
It's over when it's over, and back to bu$ine$$

See America, China and Japan
Britishers, French and Goths
Not long ago, we hacked ourselves to pieces,
now hold hands and exchange sly kisses
