Take That Hill

lyrics

War is easy, war’s delightful, satisfying, too
If you’re scared, well, that’s your problem
Something’s wrong with you, I tell ya
It’s like a football game
Well, except that the other side
Is often in flames

From time to time, they call upon us to do some dirty work
Overthrow a sovereign nation
Or go plain berserk, I tell ya
Now’s that time again
Just a place to storm and conquer
So let’s go, men

We’ll pave the golden road to glory
You bet we will
Don’t stop till you’re at the top
We’ll take that hill

There’s no hesitation at all. There’s no second thoughts
We don’t agonize about this and our morals
Aren’t tied in square knots
So the mission’s clear
We’re here to cause destruction
We’re the tip of the spear

We’ll pave the golden road to glory
You bet we will
Don’t stop till you’re at the top
We’ll take that hill

They were ready for us that day and our attack
Their defense it was ferocious and they drove us back
I tell ya,
They had us on the run
And we retreated in the pouring rain
We lost, they won
As we retreated in the pouring rain
I threw away my gun
