Did you show her the ears that you wore?
When you tell me your story
Did you show her your medals? Did you show her your guns?
Will you tell all the people about the people you killed
Rotting along with the hay
Oh, Camil, tell me why are you in this place?
Not for God but for country and war?
Oh, Camil, tell me what did your mother say?
Are you makin' amends for all of the hatred you saw?
Will you tell all the people about the people that cry out for God
So you tell me your story from beginning to end
All the blood and the guts and the gore
Did you show her a picture of the people you killed
Not for God but for country and war?
When you stood up for justice, your country replied
Now your heart tells you that can't be real
By throwing it back in your face
When you left those people out in the fields
