Lyrics
I HIT THE BEACH AT OMAHA WITH AN M-1 IN MY HAND AND MY LIFE, IT RACED BEFORE MY EYES AS MY HELMET HIT THE SAND AND AS THE BLOOD RAN FROM MY BODY I THOUGHT ABOUT MY LITTLE GIRL I PRAYED THAT SHE WOULD NEVER SEE SUCH A SELF- DESTRUCTIVE WORLD Chorus: I'M A SOLDIER OF MISFORTUNE JUST A VICTIM OF THE GAME AND NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME I'M THE ONE WHO FEELS THE PAIN I MET THE GHOSTS OF FLANDERS FIELD, WHERE ALL THE POPPIES GROW THEY WARNED ME NOT TO LOOK AHEAD, SEE THE WORLD THAT WOULD UNFOLD Chorus I DID NOT FIGHT FOR THE BANK OF AMERICA OR GO TO WAR FOR FANNIE MAE BUT THEY TOOK THE DREAM WE DIED FOR AND THEY PISSED IT ALL AWAY Chorus
