Hot Lead, Cold Steel

It's been a long time since my last letter from home
My mind is elsewhere, I’m soaking wet and cold to the bone
With the threat of an aerial attack, can't waste time
Getting bored
I'm sniper hunting, my orders are not to be ignored...

What is going on? Where did that shot come from?
Square bashing with my pack and drill...
If a bullet don’t get ya then the dysentery will

Hot lead, hot lead
Hot lead, hot lead... hot lead, cold steel

It seems years since I saw something rеsembling my wife
I could be hеre for a term, that could turn into life
I could get out and I could take a chance, once I could ill afford
I still can't remember my first son or what he was called, yeah

What is going on? Where did that shot come from?
Square bashing with full pack and drill...
If a bullet don't get ya then the dysentery will

Hot lead, hot lead
Hot lead, hot lead... hot lead, cold steel

I've been thinking where has it all gone?
I've seen people happy, I tell ya, I want some
I've made people laugh and I made them cry
But I wish I'd never been born
I got my discharge, my exit, so fill out the form, yeah

What is going on? Where did that shot come from?
Square bashing with full pack and drill...
If a bullet don't get ya then the dysentery will

Hot lead, hot lead
Hot lead, hot lead... hot lead, cold steel
Hot lead, hot lead
Hot lead, hot lead
