Code 66
You wake up and go to work everyday
Come on home and still have time to play
with your little children and beautiful wife
Why are you complaining? You have a life
You don’t get it and you never shall
You think your lives are bad, well go to hell
Your lives so far have been nothing less than perfect
Blessed with your deepest desires, admit it
There’s a group of us that work as soldiers
And have to carry your future on our shoulders
If something goes wrong then we’re to blame
And we live our lives with a conscience and shame
BRIDGE:
Look at us, what are we doing here?
Serving our country and not thinking that we
can lose our lives in any moment
Leaving our families behind
CHORUS:
We’re not soldiers can’t you see?
We’re tools of destruction, their property
There’s a sound of gunshots, bombs and yells
We’re scared to death right out of our skulls
Woken up in the middle of the night
Grabs our guns run to enemies’ sight
We’re ordered to shoot when the siren rings
That’s how we live in Code 66
In the morning we line up on the deck
Something we’ll just have to accept
I’m the first one to enter of them all
It’s time for the legend to fall
Blood on my face and a wound in my thigh
I’ll do anything just to survive
If we give up now our nation will die
Instead we continue giving up our lives
Our families sit and watch the news
Hoping that this war will end soon
So that we can come home and be happy again
And stop living a life of torture and pain
BRIDGE
CHORUS:
We’re not soldiers can’t you see?
We’re tools of destruction, their property
There’s a sound of gunshots, bombs and yells
We’re scared to death right out of our skulls
Woken up in the middle of the night
Grabs our guns run to enemies’ sight
We’re ordered to shoot when the siren rings
That’s how we live in Code 66
It’s finally over, there’s no more war
Back at base we receive an honour award
It’s over, we’ve won the fight
And the best news mamma, I’m coming home tonight
Code 66 is in the past
But in my heart it will forever last
Friends I’ve made and friends I’ve lost
It’s part of life and I have to carry on
BRIDGE
CHORUS:
We’re not soldiers can’t you see?
We’re tools of destruction, their property
There’s a sound of gunshots, bombs and yells
We’re scared to death right out of our skulls
Woken up in the middle of the night
Grabs our guns run to enemies’ sight
We’re ordered to shoot when the siren rings
That’s how we live in Code 66
