"Red Badge Of Courage" lyrics

"Red Badge Of Courage"

To err is human, to forgive is divine
To err is human, to forgive is divine
Ain't either Marine Corps policy, neither's crying

My hide's been shot at under a middle eastern sun
My hide's been shot at under a middle eastern sun
I got a red badge of courage, ain't even 21

It's my last tour of duty boys I'm going back to the USA
It's my last tour of duty boys I'm going back to the USA
I'll go down to VFW every Memorial day

What do I say to these ghosts that keep coming round again?
What do I say to these ghosts that keep coming round again?
We was just kids doing the dirty work for the failures of old men
