Thanked A Veteran, Posers lyrics

Thanked a veteran

'I support our troops'

Little cool magnets

Ribbons of the herd

Too busy being a player

Avoided the draft

Partied and puked

Until she got knocked up

Excuses for not going

Reality too clear

Fear of failure and abuse

Not like my games, restarts

Let others go

They signed up, benefits

I don't want to die

Parents paid my way

No dilemmas here

Thanking for killing

No PTSD here

Nor guilt for surviving

Didn't ever send them anything

Always wanted to...

No time for me

Free to choose, always there

I'll just thank them

It makes me feel good

It don't cost anything

I can tell others

Thanked a veteran

I support our troops

No problems with getting around

Got all kinds of toys to pay for

Sleep soundly at night

Full benefits, no problems

Welfare pays them all

They take money from my check

Wear military clothes

When asking for money

At the stores' drives

Need smokes and beer

Ask real veterans things

To learn to talk like them

Plotting for a buck

Work is for suckers

They dishonour us who would not take charity

Who know we must make their way in the world

Regardless of obsticles, duty known so

Self pity, self indulgence are not of a veteran

Don't thank us, it was our duty

Our sworn obligation, with a price

Sometimes visible, sometimes within

We walk with purpose, and with honour

We are part of it until we die...
