Soldier of Misfortune
Copyright 2011 R. Fowler

lyrics

I HIT THE BEACH AT OMAHA WITH AN M-1 IN MY HAND
AND MY LIFE, IT RACED BEFORE MY EYES AS MY HELMET HIT THE SAND
AND AS THE BLOOD RAN FROM MY BODY I THOUGHT ABOUT MY LITTLE GIRL
I PRAYED THAT SHE WOULD NEVER SEE SUCH A SELF-DESTRUCTIVE WORLD

Chorus:
I'M A SOLDIER OF MISFORTUNE
JUST A VICTIM OF THE GAME
AND NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME
I'M THE ONE WHO FEELS THE PAIN

I MET THE GHOSTS OF FLANDERS FIELD, WHERE ALL THE POPPIES GROW
THEY TOLD ME NOT TO LOOK AHEAD, TO THE WORLD THAT WOULD UNFOLD

Chorus

I DID NOT FIGHT FOR THE BANK OF AMERICA OR GO TO WAR FOR FANNIE MAE
BUT THEY TOOK THE DREAM WE DIED FOR AND THEY PISSED IT ALL AWAY

Chorus
