|
Everyone but me is sick |
|
Can't breathe here, the air's too thick |
|
I can't stand but i can't drop |
|
Can't save a man but i can't stop |
|
There's not enough of us to ever stem this tide |
|
The agony and filth is more than i can hide |
|
I mustn't speak of failure but it's filling my head |
|
And there's not enough beds for these stinking dead |
|
I can't stay, i can't stop |
|
Can't save a man but i can't drop |
|
Amputate and i pray |
|
Always more casualties on the way |
|
I can't stop, i can't cry |
|
I'm only seventeen and i don't know why |
|
Why? why? why? |
|
Do what i can but they die anyway |
|
The rebels give us more every night and day |
|
A woman serves her country by being a nurse |
|
I'm an angel bathed in blood and it's a god damned curse |
|
Cauterize the wounds and lay 'em up in a cot |
|
The biggest men are laid to waste with one lead shot |
|
Please mister lincoln call this war to an end |
|
General lee's getting closer and we have no more men |
|
And i can't stay, i can't stop |
|
Can't save a man but i can't drop |
|
Amputate and i pray |
|
Always more casualties on the way |
|
I can't stop, i can't cry |
|
I'm only seventeen and i don't know why |
|
Why? why? why? |
