I once was a soldier, a guard
Lean chiselled and hard
My body felt some pain
And In my head I'm scarred
I loved the Army way
The guns the chicks the pay
Even active service
Fighting day to day
I even loved the training
Digging In when It’s raining
And all the boring stuff
Cleaning fixing maintaining
I didn’t get a trade
But many friends I made
I've been out for quite a while now
And all of us have been betrayed
Our worries should now be behind us
But we're thrown under the bus
Old enquiries opened
It’s enough to make you cuss
A political pawn Is all we are
At worse criminal at best bizarre
Soldier F and more to follow
Are getting treated like Escobar
They keep It out of the news
They must have predicted the public’s views
They’re happy to send us to prison
That’s the stance they choose
They’ve underestimated our unity
While they give the Irish Immunity
Word's getting round we’re getting support
From everyone In the community
We'll get back off the floor
And fight like we did before
We’ll stand together like Brothers
Whatever unit or corp
