OUTSIDE THE WIRE


CHORUS:

Outside the wire, outside the wire
There is death and destruction and enemy fire
The evening light is falling soon the shelling will begin
We must go outside the wire and bring our brothers in

Word has just come down that we have a lost patrol
Gone since morning with their rations and their guns on rock and roll
Sniffing out more trouble with a dog named Rin Tin Tin
We must go outside the wire and bring our brothers in

A chopper has gone down and there's nurses trapped inside
And if Charlie gets there first they're going to wish that they had died
After all they've done for us we must try and save their skin
We must go outside the wire and bring our sisters in

In the cities and the forests there's a million homeless men
They have called to us before they are calling us again
God knows where they are but we know where they've been
We must go outside the wire and bring our brothers in

We have friends in higher places and their names are on the wall
And if all of them are up there it would be ten times as tall
From suicide and homicide and drugs and alcohol
Outside the wire there's survivors we must go and get them all
