All Good Soldiers

Album: Recipe For Hate (1993)

  • All good soldiers crack like boulders
    The sun climbs up to a razon,
    Violins, new boots, and numbers on a chain
    All good soldiers
    All good soldiers fall in line
    When they march and shout-
    Are a spectacle
    Marching and singing
    Will go anywhere the president says-
    Because the president believes in god-
    Like all good soldiers wait like warheads-
    When the fighting starts who will
    Be accountable, a cannibal, a cannonball
    It's six A.M. I can see my breath
    And the clay dirt
    Is laughing at the weakling boy
    Today is the day
    That I'll write my friends
    Its something I've been
    Trying to remember
    I had a dream of a wall
    That was twenty-one stories tall
    All good soldiers fall in line
    When they march and shout
    Are a respectable
    Marching and signing
    Will go anywhere the president says
    Because the president believes in god-
    Like all good soldiers should Writer/s: BRETT GUREWITZ
