Pointless Army

(Verse)
Other than their helpless minds
I am the only casualty
Of this eternal worthless war
and all that it can be
And as I die and go to hell
I know I can't turn back,
for all that ends was left behind
when I joined the ranks

(Chorus)
We're a pointless army
in a pointless war
with the pointless objective
of feeding the poor
with our lies and our death
so just save your breath
Woah-oh!

(Verse)
Have you walked a hundred miles
in my bloody shoes,
to find a hopeful tunnel light
that's never really there
and while your achin' back does break
you wish you'd turned away,
from that drug of falsehood
that always tempts you still.

(Chorus)
We're a pointless army
in a pointless war
with the pointless objective
of feeding the poor
with our lies and our death
so just save your breath
Woah-oh!

(Bridge)
Lead on
strive on
To find a truth without a purpose
and find a fight without a foe
to lead against the army
that's only in our minds
