"Lord make me an instrument of your peace"
-- Francis

Now lemme tell you story
Bout a sergeant in the army
A hero one courageous day
Turned himself in at fort stewart,
Announced his C.O. status
Told the army, to "F.T.A."

Camilo handed in his stuff
to Major General Webster
Said he wouldn't go back and fight
When he did the army told him
there'd be "One year sentence."
he said "fine, cause I know I'm right."

(ch - )
Did he refuse to return,
Yes he refused to return
The corporate media is still unlearn'd
His name lives on forever
With the rest of the media
He's the sergeant who refused to return

Now all day long
Camilo talks to reporters
Saying, "this is what became of me?
Crying "I want peace on earth,
for my brothers and my sisters
Over here and across the sea

Camilo's auntie and his mother
also talk to the press
All the places like democracy now!
But they still can't crack
That corporate media blackout
So fuck the corporate media anyhow!!!

(ch)

Now you armchair warriors,
Don't you think it's a scandal
That the youth still gotta go to war these days
When a schmuck like you and Bush
eat lamb and veal and drugs.
fuck your POTUS and his army! FTA.
