I was six first wanted to be a Marine
At seventeen
Took the eye test last four lines unseen
Looked in my ear can you hear this?
Most of what he was asked I missed
Only want a few good men and you ain't one
It would be unsafe to have you carry a gun
"Off we go into the wild blue yonder!"
You stay close to the base do not wander
To let you up and in control of a plane
The Commander of this base said insane
I think we found just the job for you
It might mean you have to carry a bedpan or two
So here I was the man you trusted with your life
The only ones to worry your kids and your wife
Who'd a thought I would be a Doctor or Nurse
Most suggested I ride in the back of the Hearse
How smart these guys leaving me alone in emergency room
But I did a good job it wasn't all doom
Six years I served game me a good conduct medal
Soon as I was out it put food in the kettle
So I took up the offer of Veteran's Affairs to take care of my health
But lately they make excuses Government out of wealth
So the day I fell down the stairs from vertigo
The VA Affairs said we are out of here have to go
You didn't't ask permission to go to a civilian Hospital
A medical ambulance corpsman now isn't't that Gaul
I sit on appeal for over a year and the letter is clear
We lost your transcipt due to technical difficuties
38 C.F R/double ss 20.717 can't find a rhyme for my past duties
What they do to our veteran's is really a crime
They have stalled down to my last dime
