lyrics

*Back in high-school days there were a lot of male students who had the attitude of “When I finish school, I’m applying for the Army and going to fight for our country. I’m going to be a hero.” And even still today people are so blind as to what you’re put through, what you have to endure and reluctantly experience while you’re over there.. I guess my aim here is to just put everything in perspective and to not sugar coat it like you see on Defence Jobs advertisements.*

Lyrics:
Good news everyone, I’m going to war today
For something that we don’t need, for something that I don’t believe in
If I make it out alive will my daughter remember me, will I be the local hero
will I see life so differently

Good news everyone, I called my wife and daughter
for the first time in 6 months, my daughter turned her mother and asked her
“Mum, who is this man that we skype from time to time and with a tear in your eye you tell him that you love him, gosh he looks a lot like me”

Good news everyone, I killed a man today
I took him from his home
I took him from his family, his friends and everything he owns
he looked me in the eyes, grabbed my hand so tight
but I spat in his face and let go and just left him there to die

Good news everyone, we captured a bunch of innocent kids
just to use as hostages to negotiate our way out of this mess we created
With our flag raised so high, we felt like kings of this world, but in the back of mind was the images of the faces of the men I killed.
