Hope Day
Don't pity me, my sun shines only for me
Occasionally, it gives me hope
For the day I always wanted

I know the part that's never learned by anyone-two
So stick it up your arse by the left
Mr. Soldier, I'm safer on my own
When you go home, you'll all be in boxes
So piss on you, fighters, right or wrong

Look at me now
Wow, I'm impressed
You'll see when you see me on the beach
See me on the beach, see me on the beach
It gives me hope for the day I always wanted

Uniform a man of action
Uniform a man of action
Blame him to save blaming me
I can't quite reach him
Seeing is believing but it never occurred to me anyway

I feel as high as the moon
But never mind, it's hope day soon
It's plain to see I'm only bluffing
Man of action, see him suffering
Dead men tell no tales, it seems that I'm halfway home
Blame him to save blaming me
And hurting someone pointlessly
Is as easy as ABC, so carve me out an effigy

Passive action leaves no traces
Dead soldiers with silly faces
Mr. "S" holds all the aces
Playing games and winning races
My soldier, I kill you
Though I liked you more than all the world
The thought of dying makes me ill
I'm scared because I want to kill

So blame him to save blaming me
And hurting someone pointlessly
Is as easy as ABC, so carve me out an effigy
