Welcome to the Army
You are no longer a man.
You no longer have a name.
You are now a pawn
in an international chess game
You are but a number.
a machine serving your masters will.
We will erase all of your emotions
except for the urge to kill
Your life means nothing to us.
You are no different from the rest.
You will hunt down our enemies
and we'll slap medals on your chest
You're told you're fighting for freedom
that your mission is just and true.
the truth is far from this.
this war has nothing to do with you.
This war is about power, land, and leverage.
Just like every war in the past.
Fat, greedy politicians sacrificing innocents.
and your death won't be the last.
So welcome to the army, there's no turning back.
now go be a good war dog and lead the attack.
You no longer have a name.
You are now a pawn
in an international chess game
You are but a number.

You will hunt down our enemies
and we'll slap medals on your chest
You're told you're fighting for freedom
that your mission is just and true.

This war is about power, land, and leverage.

and your death won't be the last.
So welcome to the army, there's no turning back.
now go be a good war dog and lead the attack.
