Thank You for Your Service |
|
“Thank you for your service...” |
|
Is that just something you say, |
|
Parroted with as much feeling as, |
|
“Now, you have a real nice day”? |
|
Do you actually care about what I did |
|
And how I’ve been affected? |
|
Would it matter to you in the slightest |
|
If my life was now all disconnected? |
|
Once you’ve said your catch phrase |
|
And I’ve passed on out of your view, |
|
Do you really give a fat rat’s ass |
|
If my skies are gray or blue? |
|
Well, you do seem like a nice guy, |
|
So I guess it’s not just a platitude, |
|
But words spoken with real emotion: |
|
A sincere expression of gratitude. |
|
Besides, if you want to know… |
|
If I told what’s honest and true, |
|
I’d have to confess I did it for myself |
| More than I did it for you. |
