Delayed Entry
PPP &
Anne Pflager July 2009
(also
purposely called Delayed Enlistment)
The lies
that were told, the glory and fame
Painted as
truth, a recruiter with no shame
His
parents believed it and signed him away
At just
seventeen, he thinks the Army’s the way
Chorus
The joy of
youth, easily tossed away
In a
desperate attempt, to grow up in one day
Only memories
remain when the stories been told
And the
sorrow that lingers for youth that was sold
He is just
seventeen, can’t wait to be a man
He thinks that
he found it, but he don’t understand
He signed
the papers and raised his right hand
Mom and Dad
stood there smiling,
thinking ain’t this just grand
At just
seventeen, he believes that he’s bound
by the
contract he signed…
Lord,
justice is blind!
She just
doesn’t see the deceit and the lies
That’s
robbing our youth while blinding their eyes
