The Late Unpleasantness I was old enough to go to war I was old enough to die I shed my blood on a foreign shore Though I wasn't sure exactly why I was spat upon for my loyalty I was made to feel the blame By those who avoided the lottery And hid in self-righteous shame They became the captains of industry And traded idealism for greed I sold my medals of gallantry The day I checked into Walter Reed |
