The Bullet Stops Here

When you're born into a long line of soldiers...how do you say"enough is enough...the bullet stops here?

Sometimes it makes me mad
I didn't have a dad
the war machines and angels took him from me


He was never there
my uncle didn't care
his words could not repair his sense of duty


So,when you talk about uncle sam
I don't give a damn
if he wants me.


So,let the big machinery roll
let it fly and take it's toll
you ai'nt gonna' see me in the army

the bullet stops here in the heart of man
someone,s got to say"enough is enough"

the bullet stops here

there's no glory

              

I am a man of peace
I want to be released
from this bloody obligation to the family

cause when you're talking about war
it's not like before
heroes are'nt "killers" anymore


ther'es no glory

cause it ain't no glorious thing
to gun your brother down
in the middle of his country

But,if he came up to my shore
and he made me go to war
I guess I'd have a lot of things to die for

the bullet stops here in the heart of man
someone's got to say"enough is enough"

the bullet stops here.
