Artillery Lyrics

From Korea to Germany, from Alaska to Puerto Rico, all over the world the United States

Army is on the alert to defend our country, you the American people, against aggression

This is The Big Picture, an official television report to the nation from the United States

Army

Now, to show you part of The Big Picture, here is Sergeant James Mansfield

Today, The Big Picture brings you firepower

The story of the big guns and the men behind them

The story of the artillery

Firepower

That's gonna be so fuckin' cool

Yo

Kaboom, krak-a-thoom , that's the sound of the cannon, whizzin' overhead, hear the air

Burst pannin'

Blowin' through your skull on a mountain full of holes, cold run up your spine as you encounter

All the souls

Dead men in the flowers, they never knew the hour, death brought on by nitrocellulose powder

Victory at what cost

It's sick to me, the blood loss, incomprehensible, what the fuck, my blood loss, bodies bein

Rushed off, nurses can't do nothin', soldiers with no limbs, blood in they lungs as they

Smotherin', letters to write to friends, mothers and cousins, women waitin' for love, letters

Receivin' nothin'

How the fuck you go on when the world burns around you, the only thing you earned is the

Trauma that they found you, insomnia surrounds you, even when you free, you ain't really

Free, those memories stay buzzin' round like Billy Bees, so ask yourself, when you go

To war, are you really G, cause in the end, you just another government's faculty

Yeah, you just government faculty, yeah, just another government faculty, if I'm dead broke

Won't sell my soul out for some bail notes, don't sell yourself short just to sell dope

Remember, every day that you sell dope's, another day the government allowed you to sell dope
