Story behind the song
Okay, so this morning, I learned, the U.S. Army,
is having some trouble, as in falling short,
of the amount of newbies they have to recruit.
Well, who you know me, know, I have my stupid days. Lot of 'em.
But, today? Today I had a good idea. So,
I shared it with the President of the United States.
Yeah, I'll do that, been doing that, for over 20 years.
Oh yes. Believe it or not.
And I told, Joe, and the U.S. Army,
the answer is simple,
get rid of the age limits for recruits.
Look, you don't want a weak army.
And, the kids we have now,
they don't wanna fight, 'cause they haven't lived.
So, it's okay, that they don't wanna join.
They haven't lived enough to know what they'd
be fighting for.
So, you take away the age restriction.
I can't believe, it takes, me, to tell you guys this.
Look you're asking people,
to risk their lives, and possibly die.
The kids today? They don't want no part of it!
But we older ones?
Oh we remember 9-11.
And we understand,
all that is at stake.
So you run us through the obstacle course,
see who can cut it.
Boom, there's your army.
You need to get the goddamned idea out of your damn fool heads.
You hear me? You feel me?
You think 'young equals strong'...
no, no it don't. Not if it ain't even fuckin' LIVED yet.
Grow, a clue.
Water your goddamned heads,
and Grow, A Fucking, CLUE.
Got Jesus?
Lyrics
I WILL DIE SO YOU CAN LIVE
In my life
I've had a wife
She came and went
But 26 years we spent
Ups and downs
Around and 'round
Some good times, bad times
Memories that still are mine
Oh... Oh... Oh...
I remember 9-11
Hell that swiftly ended Heaven
Oh, our young people then
Rose saying this won't happen again
But today, you don't remember
You just weren't there to remember
So I told the President
Lose the age limits for recruitment
Oh... Oh... Oh...
I will die so you can live
There is nothing to forgive
I will lay me down
So wipe off that frown
I will go, so you can stick around
Oh... Oh... Oh...
This can be
We can stay free
Because The Army actually heard me
I am old, but I am bold
They've let my generation
Join the fight again...
Oh... Oh... Oh...
I will die so you can live
There is nothing to forgive
I will lay me down
So wipe off that frown
I will go, so you can stick around
Na na na... whoo... whoa...
This is the answer
Let the ones who remember
Stand and fight, if need be die
To keep the Eagle in the sky
Don't you cry for me
I have lived, you see
Time has come to join the fight
So one day it will be alright...
Oh... Oh... Oh...
I will die so you can live
There is nothing to forgive
I will lay me down
So wipe off that frown
I will go, so you can stick around
So you can stick around...
Oh... Oh... Oh...
