Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE DDF FGHIJ KLM NMDOPQ RPSTM| We are soldiers at your disposal Do | A |
| with us what you will Our only purpose | B |
| in life is to defend our country It | C |
| doesn't really matter who or when we | D |
| kill | E |
| - | |
| We are like garbage that can be easily | D |
| thrown away tossed out in the muddy | D |
| streets on a cold and rainy day | F |
| - | |
| If we're captured by the enemy they | F |
| slowly disassemble us like they were | G |
| breaking a simple toy or lock us up in | H |
| hell holes watching our flesh rot gives | I |
| them an untold joy | J |

| The government pays for us to live but | K |
| wouldn't shed a tear if we so happened | L |
| to die | M |
| - | |
| Everyone thinks that we're just controlled puppets | N |
| without emotions no love laughter or fear but I | M |
| can show you that the many scars and blood we | D |
| shed is very real and the tears streaming down | O |
| our pale cheeks are not there because of | P |
| lies | Q |
| - | |
| So when you're sitting safe at home quietly absorbing | R |
| the news and you come across a story about one of | P |
| our deaths please feel remorse for that poor man's | S |
| family lovers friends and quite simply him | T |
| for the many tears of pain he never got a chance to cry | M |
