Hot lights across his face
  They told him he was just a disgrace
  Stripped down like a frightened child
  A shadow stood before him
  He thought he saw a smile
    Guilty of nothing more than fear
  It was the dogs of war that sent him here
  Caught across enemy lines
  Shot in the back
  Now he's running out of time
    They all said they loved him
  But where were they all now
  Thinking about his hometown
  Back in New York City
    A slap across his face
  Brings him back to this painful place
  He would not talk God save his soul
  They took him out and beat him
  His mind felt cold
    A change takes place
  It makes you feel numb
  Realizing you're just a man
  Can make your soul want to run
    Standing in the firing line
  The smoke fills his lungs one last time
  And with his last breath he cries out
  Dear God what have I done
    A shot rings out
