Toy Soldier

In short, I got an idea and tinkered with it the best that I could. Don't you hate those days when you're unable to articulate understandably? sad .

Anyway, here it is:


Toy Soldier

Make them walk in line til they can walk no more!
Keep them working til you see a shine on that floor!
Have them stand out all night in the dark and the cold!
Keep yelling and screaming and they'll do as they're told!

Make it bleed, make it cry
Make that worm want to die
Make that miserable life have some worth!
Make it scream, make it claw
Make it beg for no more
Make it grateful to recieve your sick mirth!

That toy soldier was a very good cadet
It obeyed and "yes Sirred" without pause
Though once it marched along to the beat of your drum
That toy no longer plays for your cause...

You can shout all you need
Kick the maggot down
But he'll pay no mind to your taunt,
You can make the boy bleed
Wanna slap him around?
Well you don't always get what you want!

Well I think that by now it's learned
Now it tends to it's body, so sore
And although it's battle is fought on every day,
This soldier ain't a toy no more.

I reckon you could've done it a little better. It's not up to your normal quality.
