Got struck by the first volley

Of the war in the corps

Never held my service

Send em a wire, give em my best

This ammunition never rests

No one serves coffee, no one wakes up



Stop breathin'

Stop breathin'

Breathin' for me now

Write it on a postcard:

Dad they broke me.

Dad they broke me.

[repeat]



I can see the lines open shutters

And the leaves flocked on a grid

That's what they made my hero say

But nothing gets me off so completely

But when you put it down

Ten feet down in the ground

Call and response in the negative home



Stop breathin'

Stop breathin'

Breathin' for me now

Write it on a postcard:

Dad they broke me.

Dad they broke me.

[repeat]
