Fortunes Of War Lyrics

Chorus: The fortunes of war Will smile upon me If I live or I die It's a hero I'll be Got nothin' to lose It's the same to me Let the fortunes of war Smile upon me My girl she don't love me My family's the same I can't find a job Ain't got a friend to my name There's no appreciation For a man like me So I'll go fight the war And I'll make 'em all see I'll lay my life on the line And die for the cause Then will they grieve For all the love lost Tell me why does a man Have to face certain death To meet expectations That are placed on his head ? And they'll raise a glass To the fallen one And they'll all agree It was a job well done Oh, what a noble soul We lost that day They'll put flags and a wreath Upon my grave
