Remember Our Wars

Remember our wars!

Remember the bones

Crushed under feet

and The cinders of homes

Remember the rape

And the children it gave

And the ache of the mothers

and the waste that we laid

Remember all we give up

When the black smoke of battle blocks out the sun

Remember the harvest

And the rest in the shade

And the wheat and the olives

And the love that we made

Remember Drink and remember

remember the glories

the songs and the stories

of men restless in bunks

and the knots in their trunks

remember the ways

that men seek to obey

a psycho with a mandate

to take pleasure away

Remember all we give up

When the black smoke of battle blocks out the sun

Remember the harvest

And the rest in the shade

And the wheat and the olives

And the love that we made

Remember Drink and remember

we've been slapping our asses

through the ranks and the classes

congratulating ourselves

for the bringing of the hell

and tortures and plunder

bring a sexual wonder

oh the mill and the grist

and all the life that we pissed

Remember all we give up

When the black smoke of battle blocks out the sun

Remember the harvest

And the rest in the shade

And the wheat and the olives

And the love that we made

Remember Drink and remember

Oh the fife and the drums

And the screws and the thumbs

As we take life away

With a tax funded slay

Oh the boys and their muscles

And their kitten like tussles

Need a focus and slogan

To be sung every morning

Our souls will be cleaner

More righteous and meaner

As we polish our swords

Despising the hoards

Oh my boys we have purpose

The others just have surface

as the pacifists whine

You will take what is mine

Remember all we give up

When the black smoke of battle blocks out the sun

Remember the harvest

And the rest in the shade

And the wheat and the olives

And the love that we made

Remember Drink and remember

Remember

Drink and remember
