Leave me alone today
This is what I pray
As I fumble with my gun
With the last stand underway
I scroll the news feed
I tune the radio
They keep telling me
What I already know
The Commander has fallen
And here's a eulogy
They forget the part about
The war and amnesty
They sent a Trojan horse
The enemy was friendlies
Too much DNA for divorce
He had to kamikaze
The people want to dance
The jams, the grooves, the beat
A photograph of icy brew
As we're drawing heat
The era's old and tired
It's caught a fatal strain
We're self medicating sedatives
To numb the aches and pain
I snuck a peek at the end
I found the manuscript
Things must have gone bad to worst
On the pages I skipped
They sent a Trojan horse
The enemy was friendlies
Too much DNA for divorce
We had to kamikaze
I'm no Kirk Douglas,
I'm no Cool Hand Luke
Yes, I work the Company but
I'm a desk job spook
But I've studied the Commander's
Final battle play
How he took his fall and
The ground on which he lay
It was bloody, it was civil
It was vicious, it was holy
And to the bitter end
It was downright dirty
They sent a Trojan horse
The enemy was friendlies
Too much DNA for divorce
He had to kamikaze
