Mission Of Burma — Devotion lyrics

Lyrics

No matter what the size we always try to hit the mark
They say it’s temporary but the lights will soon fade to dark
Endurance, fortitude and strength take a wicked toll
This can only mean promotion, but the party’s is what matters of course
I’ve been in the service of the company 14 years
Stuck inside this dream factory making real all your darkest fears
Done my duties, have them due, I performed them as commanded
Run the … as a weapon, in this case I understand it
Some people just don’t realize what devotion means
I should’ve known better than
To feed so greedy from this filthy hand
It’s the same old story
The underside of glory
And what right you’ve got to criticize?
The warp and weft of well-told lies
And as it was hereafter
I’m every nation’s bastard
Ah, ah ha
Pockets of power, pouches of pestilence
Swift work made life, celebrate idle heads
And it’s final but not fatal, represents a rubber cast
Do our business with the utmost tenderness and prejudice
Some people just don’t realize what their fortune is
I see something staring us in the eye
It’s another bad dream, the system caught us in our lie
And I know I’m not the smartest man who ever walked the earth
But when masters take their …, it’s the sound of something worse
… to feel just what devotion means
I should’ve known better than
To feed so greedy from this filthy hand
It’s the same old story
The underside of glory
And what right you got to criticize
The warp and weft of well-told lies
And thus it was hereafter
I’m every nation’s bastard
Ah, ah ha
Ah, ah ha
Ah, ah ha
