All Good Soldiers

all good soldiers crack like boulders
The sun climbs up to a razon,
violins, new boots, and numbers on a chain
All good soldiers

(Chorus) 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 should

All good soldiers wait like warheads-
When the fighting starts who will
be accountable, a cannibal, a cannonball
All good soldiers. All good soldiers.

(Chorus)

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...

(Chorus)
