LAGWAGON LYRICS

"Noble End"

He grew up with nothing
He lived and died poor, a father of four
He left his family temporarily
For a future based on words of chicanery, they said:
"Join the Army. Join the Navy."
He joined the Marines and his children were proud
But exaltation was exhausted and patronage died
When this expendable number left his family of five

(Imposture) And all that man wanted was
To provide a better existence for his kids and wife
An investment that cost him his life
A family of ethics has...

A fatality of war can't be noble enough
To justify the loss of life so young
Continental security, atonement, ha! There's no such thing
There was no hero in the end, only letters of resent, remorse, regret
Bitter resent

(Imposture) And all those boys wanted was
To be alive, a return to existence and
So many died and those who returned were alone
With nothing awaiting at home

Again the headlines read, "A Noble Soldier Finds A Noble Ending"
They are the ones who can be done without
Expendable numbers forgotten, no doubt

A family of ethics has died
