The Trashing of Hero’s
War is brutal; sad things happen all the time and always will,
for it’s kill or be killed when at war, so blood is sure to spill.
You have fought a war where no one could be trusted but your mates,
once you stepped into that hell hole where the enemy awaits.
They have sent you to the ends of earth to fight a hopeless war,
where you never know who’s friend or foe or just what lies in store.
so, you had to always be on guard to just survive out there,
for the enemy is waiting, even in the camps you share.
They would show no mercy either if they got the upper hand,
So, you do what must be done to try and bring peace to that land.
It’s a thankless task you’re faced with and mistakes at times are made,
that’s the way it’s always been in wars, and death’s the price that’s paid.
There will always be the knockers who are lesser men than you,
most of whom would lack the courage to face dangers like you do.
And the truth is blurred to suit the ones who wish to tear you down
and your leaders have gone missing as the blame is passed around.
But true Aussies don’t desert their mates, you know we’ve got your back,
though your leaders may desert you and your characters attack.
Politicians run for cover, so don’t look to them for help,
they’ll be somewhere out of sight, not game enough to raise a yelp.
You can never trust the media, they’ll smear you if they can,
then, they’ll crucify you - once that made up rubbish hits the fan.
There’s a stench about this business, some-ones got you in their sights,
using innuendo as their proof – no thoughts about your rights.
They’re out now to destroy you and will stoop to anything to win,
with their dodgy so-called stories, that at best are paper thin.
Even paying cash it’s rumoured to the ones you may have fought
and it’s hard to now believe they may use evidence that’s bought.
If they get their way, they’ll decimate the mighty S A S
and then leave the forward lines of our defences in a mess.
Men like you are priceless in the growing troubles faced today
and we need you well trained hardened warriors, to lead the way.
So perhaps our finest fighting unit will be torn apart
and your government has turned a blind eye to it from the start.
Who’s behind it all; what schemes were hatched behind closed doors I ask?
For it seems so un-Australian too - who hides behind the mask?
