deserter

you love your homeland
enjoy your freedom
but now the draft is looming

you've come of age now
you're being summoned
to where the guns are booming

do have have a choice
you're not quite sure
patriot or traitor
coward or a fighter
disgrace to your country
or maybe a dead hero

you've heard of families
who've lost their loved ones
to madness running rampant

when you ask the wounded
what they have been through
their gaze gets mad or vacant

do have have a choice
you're not quite sure
patriot or traitor
coward or a fighter
disgrace to your country
or maybe a dead hero

conchy or deserter
