Green Soldiers and Metal Blades
I yank the cord and the growling begins
A puff of smoke and the metal starts to spin
The green soldiers start to charge it
And are cut, chewed, and spit out of it
And in an hours time the job is done
A million dead by the blades of one
But as the hot sun beats down on the field
The green soldiers have begun to yield
And in a week’s time the next fight will begin
And the metal blades will start to spin.
