A soldiers despair

Take a man, then put him alone.Put him 12,000 miles from home.Empty his heart of all but blood, Make him live in sweat and mud.This is the life I have to live.And Why my soul to the devil I give.You don't know what it's like over here.You have your parties and drink your beer.You have a ball without even trying.While over here boys are dying.You burn your draft cards, march at dawn.Plant your signs on the White House lawn.You want to ban the bomb.There's no real war in Vietnan.Use your drugs and have your fun.And then refuse to carry a gun.There's nothing else for you to do.And I am supposed to die for you!There's one thing that you don't know.That is where I think you should go.I am already here and it's too late.I've traded all my love for hate.I'll hate you til the day I die.You made my buddy cry and die.I saw his arm a bloody shred.I hear them say this one is dead.It's a large price to have to pay.And not live another day.He had the guts to fight and die...But by him dying, what did he buy?By dying, your life he buys.But who cares if a soldier dies.His wife and maybe his sons.But they are the only ones.
