40 Dead Men

[Verse 1]
I got a letter
Not feeling better
Seven ways to kill your brother
I got to get home before I kill another

[Chorus]
Forty men dead, shot in the head
Forty men dead, fields of red

[Verse 2]
Calling the captain
I need a way back home
Quartermaster, heed my words
I'm gonna burn these fields like the streets of Rome

[Chorus]
Forty men dead, shot in the head
Forty men dead, fields of red

[Bridge]
Well, I laid down my rifle
And I laid down my sword
And I ain't gonna fight your war
Not anymore
Said I laid down my pistol
And I swore to my lord
I ain't gonna fight thеir war
Not anymore
Oh, I ain't gonna fight your war
Not anymore
