Tin Soldiers
B. Dolan

chorus:
Tin Soldiers I hear them coming
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio…
Four dead in Ohio…
Four dead in Ohio…

�It felt like Kent State
the way they targeted the students�
With vague promises about a ‘job’ and ‘computers’
Computers that were missing from the schools that you grew up in…
Jobs that were long ago robbed from the community…
Recruiter: The Pedophile,
Predatory lender,
The snake-oil selling, home wrecking
soul collector.
Don’t sign no dotted line.
Don’t tell em your age.
Give ‘em a fake phone number
and go your own way.
Please,
not in my name and not in yours either
Young man
Gun in hand
contrast
with soft features
Already lost the class war so they don’t need the draft no more,
Bombs blast & the axe falls
Don’t be the sacrifice
slaughtered for the feast,
Your people gotta eat,
but you can’t feed em
when your deceased.
They planted desperation and they harvested squadrons
& wonder why the classroom is littered with bodies,
from Columbine to Palestine the killers are the children,
Adopted by a monster & stripped of all feeling
i see them…

(chorus)
In the schools of violence,
You will salute liars
fuel their fire & be torn down to ash
They rebranded the whip
but still lash the back
& it ain’t shit changed but the names on the dog-tag
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’s a thing of the past,
but there’s a few things things they Don’t Tell you if you Don’t Ask:
The advertised signing bonus is mostly bogus.
You’re thinking it’s a gift but it’s more like a loan–
if you run and spend the money when they cut you the check,
but try to leave before your term & they will come to collect,
And It’s a very small percent of servicemen who even see the loot,
Recruiter calls, pretends to be your friend, he’s deceiving you
Fewer than 10 percent will ever see a dollar
of the $37,000 Max Allowance for College.
Montgomery GI’s a motherfucking Lie.
You can’t earn a degree
without reading between the lines.
And the so called ‘job training’ isn’t real:
They’re not guaranteed to place you in your chosen field,
and it’s specialized training at that
How many businesses you think will need machine gunners when you get back?
They’re lost in the air force,
No safety in the navy,
Google the �In Lieu Of� program and the �Stop Loss Policy�
200,000 homeless vets on any given night
#1 cause of death in 2010: Suicide.
More military met death at their own hands
Than died in Iraq or Afghanistan combined.
You are signing your life on the line.
Every single provision in their enlistment contract
is ‘Subject to Change,’ you think you gaming that system?
You on crack. You are guaranteed nothing
Except that you’ve become the property
of your Government.
(chorus)
