CONFLICT©
(Pre-intro)
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic

 
(Intro)
The army wanted a private
Instead, they got a riot

(Verse)
Can anyone numb the pain
Before I go insane
Get off that needle train
Mama you’re to blame
Pills and pot and meth too weak
Demons in my head, push the freak
Butcher, baker, candlestick maker
Ratting me out to the undertaker
The Feds have the money, they don’t care
Anyone know; where’s my share

(Chorus)
Screaming, but no one hears
Blinded, can’t see my fears
War, what is it good for
Turning us into junkie whores

(Verse)
If pain’s the only thing I feel,
Then war has made the wounds too real.
Got Zombies battlin’ Commies
Can’t wait to smell the poppies
Vials empty; tracks are few
How do we get to Xanadu
My shadow drags me through the night,  
I’ve lost the will to stand and fight,
Hope is dead and faith is gone,
Who will claim me at the crack of dawn

(Chorus)
Screaming, but no one hears
Blinded, can’t see my fears
War, what is it good for
Turning us into junkie whores

(Verse)
Mama made me enlist 
Always been a conflict
Doctors pumped me full of lies
Promised healing, fed me highs
Maggots crawl inside the head
Demons taunt, till my brain has shred
When so many friends become the foes
And all their cries, feed the lows.
Brothers buried, I remain
Unable, unstable, it can’t be humane

(Chorus)
Screaming, but no one hears
Blinded, can’t see my fears
War, what is it good for
Turning us into junkie whores

(Verse)
Never regret the past
It flashes by so fast
Gone in a blink
Can’t even think
Nothing goes, the way we planned
There’s no escape, don’t misunderstand
Hope is always around the corner
Nothing’s there, just a mourner
Pull the pin and view the plume
For nevermore to be entombed 
A salute to you, my last command
Where am I going, I’ll be damned

(Outgo)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
