Paid in Full

I won me a chest full of medals
for killing ole' Charlie Cong.
Hell, it wasn't wrong.
Couldn't have been.
I was paid every month
and then once
I met a General
who slapped me on the back
and we laughed at the crack
he made about body count.
"Son, it's not the fact,
it's the amount.
We kill one,
we write down three
and between you and me
thats the way to win wars."
Government pimps...
Military whores...
Who could possible know more
than they do.
