>
>In the midst of all evil,
>We stand our ground,
>And we protect our country
>From all terror around.

>
>Peace and not war,
>Is what some people say.
>But I'll give my life,
>So you can live the American way.
>
>
>
>I give you the right
>To talk of your peace.
>To stand in your groups,
>and protest in our streets.
>
>
>
>But still I fight on,
>I don't bitch, I don't whine.
>I'm just one of the people
>Who is doing your time.
>
>
>
>I'm harder than nails,
>Stronger than any machine.
>I'm the immortal soldier,
>I'm a U.S. MARINE!
>
>
>So stand in my shoes,
>And leave from your home
>Fight for the people who hate you,
>With the protests they've shown.
>Fight for the stranger,
>Fight for the young.
>So they all may have,
>The greatest freedom you've won.
>
>
>
>Fight for the sick,
>Fight for the poor
>Fight for the cripple,
>Who lives next door.
>
>
>But when your time comes,
>Do what I've done.
>For if you stand up for freedom,
>You'll stand when the fight's done.
