Repeal The Way You Feel

 

Come one, Come All

And welcome to Hell

Let's have a ball

with the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

Now there's no reason, day after day

to keep it a secret that your partner is gay

You knew it from the start

so did many others

that deep in your heart

those soldiers were closer than brothers

What's the big deal

it's kill or be killed

A shot in the head is real

no matter if you're skilled

Protection not neglection

a different set of eyes can act as

 deflection

When it's time to relax

down they'll go on their backs

And just like you

 almost on que

But to wait

and be called an ingrate

out of fear and loathing to hate

Say, "Hello" at the golden gate

because you woke up too late

You took on a mission

 inspite of your condition

remember that oath you took?

So when you're down below

 sheltered from the other side's feelings

you know

Who in their right mind

 would give you a second look?

. wow ... what a powerful comment on the life of those in the armed forces ... it's really a tough life ... and i don't know if you know ... but in india at least ... everyone who joins the armed forces has to sign something called "the abrogation of fundamental rights" ... the purpose is national security ... but we all know ... that in its practical manifestation ... it's all about killing or being killed ... and you're right ... no one ultimately cares for the loss of lives in wars ...
