Ask Yourself
A fallen solider,
another casualty to the gravity of everyday living,
life can be so unforgiving for those opposed to all of the rules
I never thought the first gunshot
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢d hear in my home town would hit so close to home
Family left to take the pain although he took the blow
Ask yourself would it be easier if there was somebody to blame
And ask yourself would it make more sense if there was someone to hate
Like father like son born to lose a war no one ever prepared him to fight
It isnâ"š¬â"ž¢t wront it isnâ"š¬â"ž¢t right count your lucky fucking stars tonight
A younger brother who now takes pats on the back that only prolongs the grief
Would you believe somehow life goes on after a tragedy
A Penny for your thoughts an insight into your demise
What was it like to see the world through your tormented eyes
Would we find a tortured soul if weâ"š¬â"ž¢d taken off your disguise
Or would we still be left with all these
Wise Show me someone to blame
Give me someone to hate
