11th hour's gone nothing's resolved there's no
alternative to becoming involved strike up the band round up the
men ready to die for nothing one shred of hope one prayer for
peace one man abandoned he prays for release he's bound to
his code dishonor is death his heart pounding hatred with every
breath he fights war's a childrens game back in the world
he'd be a criminal he'd go insane no sleep for days he
sweats when it's cold he lives for his orders he does what
he's told no mercy for his enemy his finger on the trigger
of an m-16 the hours grow long he's bored and alone he
doesn't need no one he's never going home the system
made him who he is those m************ will fear him he's
gone his mind is a waste he hears it twenty-one guns life
imitates death imitates twenty-one guns honor parades accolades
a section eight twenty-one guns a proud servant of this grand
republic he got twenty-one guns
