It's easy to get caught up in the were the best of the best
were trained over and over till it's all muscle memory
were cockeded locked and ready to rock and roll at a moment's notice
killing is easy ,target acquired slow deep breath , let half of it out hold and squeeze Not pull the trigger ,acquiring target number two
it does not matter how many you killed today you can justify it by it was them or me ......but in the darkest hours of the night each and every face parades themselves by one by one but you try to shake it off it was for uncle sam
I'm the best of the best they tell you
till your caught in the middle of bum fuck nowhere pined down with know where to go then and only then do you realize you're just a number like a truck or the serial number on your weapon ....You're EXPENDABLE if you make it back you're a hero and they pin a medal on you that you just want to shove up their ass
if not it's just more paperwork for some private behind a computer screen you look around the room wondering who's going home in a box and who's not , me they should just bury where I fell no ones going to care let the demons haunt me for tonight for tomorrow
I'll be the best of the best again
