Marti's Last Stand

Marti was a fightin' man

Whose story should be told

He was a son of circumstance

He couldn't quite control

His father gave him pellet guns

And plastic hand grenades

Had him marching up and down

Like he was on paradeMarti was a fightin' boy

His parents made it clear

Military college was his home

For seven years

They'd make a soldier out of him

No matter what the price

He said he was a pacifist

They called it cowardiceCHORUS:

All I ever wanted to be was

Left alone to live in peace

But nobody would ever listen to me

They forced a gun into my hands and

Told me what to do with it

Nobody would ever listen to meMarti was a fightin' man

On graduation day

Splendid in his uniform

He smartly marched away

And when the call to action came

In battle he did rise

Dodging blood and bullets and

Indoctrinated livesMarti was a fightin' man

The enemy was sure

Both had drawn their guns

And after that it was a blur

Marti was the faster draw

But purposely shot wide

Peace to you my friend

Was all he said before he diedWhat is this world we've left our

Sons and daughters now

So full of hatred pain

Hypocracy and power

We would not listen

When they told us how they felt

And so by God I hope we're happy nowMarti was a fightin' man

The eulogy was read

Served his country well

A brave young man is what they saidWhat is this world we've left our

Sons and daughters now

So full of hatred pain

Hipocrisy and power

It's time we listen

To the things they have to say

By God I hope it's

Not too late to change
