they keep rinsing the original tune on BFBS (forces radio) so I ended up writing this..
I’m better
So much better now
unit downsized, discharge signed
going back to Blighty now
I’m better
So much better now
Look to the skies,
I see that Lynx
flying to Blighty now
I’d only just begun
Hypnotized by drums
they handed me my gun
Sent me to Afghanistan
Watched by the Taliban
We refused to run
defusing roadside bombs
strung out in Afghanistan
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Strung out in Afghanistan
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Locked down in Camp Bastian
When daylight’s fading
they just play crap eurodance
over and over again
And now I feel so jaded
Think of my comrades
Who will never grow old again
Can’t wait till this war is done
Can’t wait till this war is done
When daylight’s fading
then my PTSD starts kicking in again
And now I feel so jaded
Think of my comrades
Who can never grow old
as they got blown up by roadside bombs
I learned war is just for clowns
Lying scum politicians are looking down
On us soldiers And the Afghan folk
David Cameron thinks war is a fucking joke
More budget cuts to come
And still we must fight on
it really isn’t fun
fighting in Afghanistan
They said this day wouldn’t come
I’m handing back my gun
Wait for that Lynx to come
Take me back to Wattisham
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Take me back to Wattisham
And when daylight’s fading
I can head up to Stowmarket
see my mates again
And I will go out raving
In thetford forest instead of
fighting fucked up wars without end..
Stacking at track 61…
