Private First Class

Private First Class

(album: Bubblegum - 2013)

Private Manning standing in a court room
Pleading guilty; she shouldn't have to
Truth be told, she should be floating down parade routes
But the truth WAS told, and what good did that do?

If it was you
You might wish you'd been born a liar
A coward

Her conscience barked as she watched our Apache
Cowboy-kill civilian Iraqis
Their laughter rolled like tanks over bodies
She thought: "What if everyone could see what I see?"

If it was you
You might wish you'd been born a liar
A coward

9 months in a hole
3 years in a cage
For having a soul
The American way

If it was you
You might wish you'd been born a liar
A coward
And not a hero
