The Comrades: "Blind Leading the Blind"

Written by Greg Matwijiszyn and Jimmy Williams. Copyright 1996.

Full of mindless macho energy
Craving power and identity
Decieved by promises of glory
Signed away to the powers that be

Purged of your emotions and feelings to become their killing tool
Don't question, don't think, just act, be prepared to follow their rule
American intervention in the name of freedom and democracy
The hypocrisy doesn't phase you, you're simply cargo to be shipped overseas

Storm the front at their beck and call
Knee-jerk obedience leaves no time to stall
They got you corner up against the wall
No one really cares when it's your turn to fall

Caught in the crossfire of opposing ideologies
Expendable pawn's life snuffed out in the scene that no one sees
Another broken hero lies on top of the corpse heap
Another family grieves while our blind leaders softly sleep

Precious blood is spilled for their worthless cause
Condemned to a violent death by authority without pause
No honor to kill or die in the name of your country
Cannon fodder for the war machine is the tragic reality

It's the blind leading the blind leading the blind leading the blind (4X)
