R.E.M.F.

Obey the order, charge into the breach
Battalions take up the fight
While fat ass bureaucrats, far out of reach
Watch via satellite

Power politics while thousands of klicks
From the front lines
Brave men at arms take the bull by the horns
Winning, their bottom line

Cannon fire makes the skies glow
Brass and lead make the cash flow
Bleed and die, why? We don't know
On behalf of all these
Rear echelon motherfuckers!

Quell the storm and ride the thunder
Fighting across the divide
In the name of all the lies and the blunders
Of men not qualified

We know ballistics and they know statistics
Acceptable death rates
But if gunfire were near, would they volunteer?
Bullets don't discriminates

Cannon fire makes the skies glow
Brass and lead make the cash flow
Bleed and die, why? They don't know

On behalf of all these
On behalf of all these
On behalf of all these
Rear echelon motherfuckers!
