BULLET FOR HIS COUNTRY

Take a bullet for country and for Queen 
That's what these men did who were barely eighteen 
Come see the world that's what the poster said
No mention of killing or ending up dead 

Fresh out of school Joe Thomas answered the call 
Promised a great adventure and a wonderful ball 
Within a heartbeat Joe's dreams were shattered
Kill or be killed is all that really mattered 

So I am thankful for people like Joe 
He took a bullet for his country as you already know
