The Soldier's Lament

[jmowreader]

I am drunk, sick, pissed off, stupid, hungry and have a hangover. 
Flat broke, need a haircut, tired and no mail. 
Missed bed check, no pussy no friends and damn few relatives. 
Overtime in grade, rank all frozen. 
Day all fucked up and no clothes, laundry rejected. 
Missed chow, leave disapproved, lost my shot records, no butts to smoke, three days A.W.O.L. and the First Sergeant wants to see me after this formation. 
Got a hard on, got V.D., about to shit my pants and the latrine is off limits until after this inspection

and then some son of a bitch says....

"Re-enlist for the benefits"

1. The best times of our lives

Wouldn't trade 'em for anything

2. well, here's Muse's more poetic version

Throw it all away
Let's lose ourselves
'Cause there's no one left for us to blame
It's a shame we're all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom

How could you send us so far away from home
When you know damn well that this is all
I would still lay down my life for you
And do you think you deserve your freedom

No I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
There's no justice in the world
And there never was
