11th hour's gone nothing's resolved there's no alternative
to becoming involved strike up the band round
up the men ready to die for nothing
one shred of hope one prayer for peace
one man abandoned he prays for release he's
bound to his code dishonor is death his
heart pounding hatred with every breath he fights
war's a childrens game back in the world
he'd be a criminal he'd go insane no
sleep for days he sweats when it's cold
he lives for his orders he does what
he's told no mercy for his enemy his
finger on the trigger of an m-16 the
hours grow long he's bored and alone he
doesn't need no one he's never going home
the system made him who he is those
motherfuckers will fear him he's gone his mind
is a waste he hears it twenty-one guns
life imitates death imitates twenty-one guns honor parades
accolades a section eight twenty-one guns a proud
servant of this grand republic he got twenty-one
guns
