I’m sick and tired of people rabbiting on a load of piss
About their fucking duty and fighting for freedom
For the fat ugly patriotic selfish folks back home
And pathetic bloody fascist bollocks like that
And gabbling on a load of sentimental horsedung
About giving their all for their fucking useless country
When honestly they’d rather be at home in some useless provincial hick town
Patting their nasty mongrel dogs and groping their neighbours’ wives
And eating mumsy-wumsy’s over-cooked meat and stodgy apple pie
Whilst ensconced on the sofa watching sodding Big Brother.
How can a soldier nowadays say he didn't want to be there?
Are people so fucking thick or blind or moronic not to realise
A person volunteers to be in the armed forces in most countries nowadays?
There’s no bloody press gangs or bloody conscription any more;
People become soldiers because they choose to do so
(Exceptions include filthy neo-nazi shit-holes like Israel) .
Therefore soldiers DO want to fight, they DO want the chance to KILL
And they willingly risk their own ugly unwashed redneck necks.
So they have no right to whine and bellyache when they get asked
To earn their daily state-paid bread and do a spot of killing
Instead of sitting on their overweight arses at MY expense.
Or course, they could show some real guts and resign instead.
Just in case you think I forgot, I am totally and fully aware
That 'he' includes 'she' in this context now that women
Have an equal chance to have their military buns blown off pointlessly.
So don't whinge or expect sympathy when your body parts come home in a bag.
Personally, I am of the belief that the only good soldier is a dead soldier.
