Afghan (Афган by Alexander Doroshenko) - USA Version
Lyrics adapted (not translated 100%, just adapted) by me, rest of the music is Doroshenko's. Swallowing dust, vision fading away, My canteen has run dry. This M4 is so heavy, in my hands, The Bradley flipped over nearby. Yes I was all alone, all my squadmates were gone, when the RPG hit our ride. All of my hope left in one Stanag mag, But the Hajis won't take me alive! Afghan, Afghan-Afghan, Afghan, Afghanistan. Our rifles left in the dust, An arrogant Empire's lust Afghan, Afghan-Afghan, Afghan, Afghanistan. Will the politicos or the brass, Face consequence for this trespass? Broken legs, missing hand, a concussion, And a terrible ring in my ear! So I regret I will die aged twenty, Too young to drink, but not to be killed here. I wonder if I survive, will my psyche, Pull through, or will I crack? And if I do, will the VA get to screw me, And toss me onto a street by the tracks? Afghan, Afghan-Afghan, Afghan, Afghanistan. The ANA cut in twain, And yet our gear there remains! Afghan, Afghan-Afghan, Afghan, Afghanistan. A puppet cut at the strings, Who knows what horrors they'll bring? Now surrounded, they come to me, There is no avenue of retreat! No more green zones, no allies, no reason, To keep this farce of a state on its feet. I think of the people I met in this country, For whom we were to be a guiding hand. ANA by day, Taliban by night, Who can blame them, this is their land! Afghan, Afghan-Afghan, Afghan, Afghanistan. How will this land repay, The countless young men it slays? Afghan, Afghan-Afghan, Afghan, Afghanistan. Service, contract, charity, Have fed this monstrosity. Afghan, Afghan-Afghan, Afghan, Afghanistan. The chopper flying away, Saigon is relived today! Afghan, Afghan-Afghan, Afghan, Afghanistan. Two trillion circle the drain, Six thousand of our dead remain!
