Mercenaries Off Down That Road

 

Their medic got killed and I was sent

To stabilize their wounded and ignore their dead

And mind my own business in all other things

Because they weren’t who we were

 

Someone said that they were C.I.A.

And they were okay to me; didn’t talk much

Our C.O. told me to stay away from them

After the unmarked dust-off lifted away

 

I got to thinking that the war I was assigned

Shouldn’t have been any of my business either
