Got struck by the first volley
Of the war in the corps
Never held my serviceSend 'em a wire, give 'em my best
This ammunition never rests
No one serves coffee, no one wakes upStop breathin', stop breathin'
Breathin' for me now
Write it on a postcard
Dad they broke me
Dad they broke meStop breathin', stop breathin'
Breathin' for me now
Write it on a postcard
Dad they broke me
Dad they broke meI can see the lines open shutters
And the leaves flocked on a grid
That's what they made my hero say
But nothin' gets me off so completelyThen when you put it down
Ten feet down in the ground
Call and response, negative homeStop breathin', stop breathin'
Breathin' for me now
Write it on a postcard
Dad they broke me
Dad they broke meStop breathin', stop breathin'
Breathin' for me now
Write it on a postcard
Dad they broke me
