THE RECRUITING SARGENT

Unemployment poverty

The recruiting Sargent

The press gangs of the military

At work as ever among us the young

And those who should no better

But when your out of work

Bills to pay , overwhelmed by debts

Kidding them self's '' it wont happen to me! ''

'' Follow orders do as I'm told '' , '' keep me head ''

'' Sign up fore the short term '' '' some how get through them ''

'' Just maybe , just maybe '' things will be better in civy street ''

Three months basic training , off to Afghanistan

His tour had only six days to go , his mate stood on an IED

It blew up , his mate took it but some of it

The lad survived to be repatriated back home

Les both arms and a leg

Now he did no longer worry about having a job

Now his worry's , were of a different kind
