Cannon Fodder

I've opened my Eyes
This is not where I want to be
I want to serve my country
But it has failed to serve me
Nothing will change their minds now
Over the top we go
Our destiny in chains now
How I wish to be sent home
I was Born to live
Not born to Die
But to my government
What am I?
All I am
All I'll be
You won't remember me
Cannon Fodder
Sent to the fight
Not ready to die
Death faces me on every side
An unmarked grave
That's all I'll be
My Destiny
Cannon Fodder
Leaders say:
Die for your country
All glory promised me
But among the fallen
Not one leader I see
Explosions hide the death
Where is this righteous goal?
I only wonder
Will I be forgotten?
Will I be left to die alone?
Many young man's life thrown away
Into a machine that feasts on a war torn day
It feeds the death
It kills the poor
It fills it's pockets with every war
We could turn the tables
We could change the rules
Gather Criminals, Kings and Business Ghouls
Put 'em on a field with a loaded gun
When they're all dead
We kill the last one
A dream of many
Never truth to be
We could change the bloody world
Just you and me
We've tried so often
Why do we bother?
One way or the other
Born to be cannon fodder
Of to battle we go
Cannon Fodder!
Now's our time to
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Over the top we go
Cannon Fodder!
Now's our time to
Die! Die! Die! Die!
I was Born to live, not born to Die
Just one of a million soldiers, now's my time
With A Father a Brother and an only son
We charge to the thunder of ten thousand guns
We fight to live
We live to die
Sent to the fight, not ready to die
Death faces me, on every side
An unmarked grave, that's all I'll be, this is the end of me
I'm Cannon Fodder
Sent to the fight, not ready to die
Death faces me, on every side
An unmarked grave, that's all I'll be, Remember me
I'm Cannon Fodder
