11 Bravo Lyrics

When I was young

I wanted to be all I could be

So I signed up for the infantry

They trained me well

They put a rifle in my hand

Said give 'em hell

And don't let up

Well up 'til then I'd just been wanderin' through a dream

Now my life made perfect

Perfect sense to me

They sent me out and soon I met the enemy

I took my gun and shot him down

As he lay

I watched the life fade from his eyes

As the blood ran down his face

Said oh my God

What the hell have I just done

I took his life

Right there he lays

And up 'til then I'd just been wanderin' through a dream

I'd never killed a man

I'd never felt that sting

They sent me out and soon I met the enemy

I took my gun and shot him down

When I was young

I wanted to be all I could be

So I signed up to go to war

They trained me well

But they don't train for how it feels

It sends a chill down through my core

I don't know how to deal with how this feels

How was I supposed to know

How could I know

How could I know

How could I know

How could I know

How could I know

How could I know
