V1a
i was a sweet boy never played with whips
liquor never crossed my lips
i would not fight i would not cuss
animals never went through my guts

V1b
until i joined the polish army
and rose to the highest rank
im the meanest son of a bitch on the eastern bloc
to the dead i owe my thanks

CH
so die boys die come die for me
die for god and my country
so die boys die come die for me
die for god and my country
and if you come out of this war alive
ive got another one for ya
and if you come out of this war alive
ive got another one for ya

one that no one survives

V2a
they call me general irving cisski
bartender, pour me another whiskey
cook, burn a side of blubbery carrion
for this blood-drinking ex-vegetarian

V2b
they say war is hell and it is for some
but not for the brass on the side that won
for the grunts in the trench some win and some lose
it's the luck of the draw whose wife gets the bad news

CH
so die boys die come die for me
die for god and my country
so die boys die come die for me
die for god and my country
and if you come out of this war alive
ive got another one for ya
and if you come out of this war alive
ive got another one for ya

one that no one survives
