Don’t cry
You’ve got to hide
Your emotions inside
You can’t appear too weak
Cold steel
There’s nothing to feel
You must never reveal
The damage these emotions wreak
You’d better not complain
About what you’ve sustained
We do a great disservice to our young
And feign surprise at what one day they become
We reap a consequence we don’t intend
We build a factory for broken men
War
Its what you’re meant for
Destroy the ones we abhor
For all that we hold true
Back home
You’re on your own
Left to suffer alone
With the demons you brought back with you
You’d better not complain
About what you’ve sustained
We do a great disservice to our young
And feign surprise at what one day they become
We reap a consequence we don’t intend
We build a factory for broken men
Confined
You’ll do your time
Your existence a crime
Caged like a common beast
Your worth
Lower than dirt
Your future inert
If you ever get released
You’d better not complain
About what you’ve sustained
We do a great disservice to our young
And feign surprise at what one day they become
We reap a consequence we don’t intend
We build a factory for broken men
