Wounded Soldier
I've been wounded! Defeated in battle
Life full of rain like I lived in Seattle
Agony of defeat, I'm judge 'cause I'm flawed
Trying to do my best, my whole life is a fraud
What's all the commotion? Why is everybody chatty?
Getting stripes in prison like the Bengals of Cincinnati
I've tried to be great but nothing but lies were spoken
A monster I've awoken and left my loved ones' heartbroken
I've committed a crime, I asked for the prison bed
I chose to leave my family, too many tears I've shed
AWOLD my platoon, now they say that I'm deranged
Want to go to prison? Well, that can be arranged
I never toted a gun, nor did one go bang
I talked with slang but look how low my head hang
It's a shame. Wanna stick a white flag in the sand
Didn't get a chance to teach my kid how to be a man
Prisoner of war, all I see is defeat
Like I've been in Afghanistan diagnosed with PTSD
In a pit full of snakes, attacked by a viper
Accurate aim in battle like the American Sniper
As everyone around me keeps looking over their shoulder
The war is far from over as I stand as a wounded soldier
