War Is Heck

If you want to go to war,
in training you will probably be bored.
When you get to Afghanistan,
there won't be any rock bands.
You'll get there by plane,
the pilot won't be sane.
When you get a tank,
you gotta say thanks.
You'll blow-up the wrong house,
you'll say sorry to the mouse.
You won't last two weeks,
you'll have blisters on your feet.
When you get home,
you will always moan.
You will here the bombs,
when your at a BBQ wearing thongs.
So just don't go to war,
just lie on the floor.
