I fought for my country And gave it my life And back home I left 3 kids and a wife I fought for my freedom Or so I thought It's what my father did It's what I was taught It was all for something It was all for nothing It was all for something Something for nothing I was only eighteen When I joined the Marines Little did I know I would be giving up My dreams It was all for something It was all for nothing It was all for something Something for nothing So many have died Before and after me The fighting will never stop For our right to be free I was only eighteen When I joined the Marines Little did I know I'd be giving up my dreams It was all for something It was all for nothing It was all for something Something for nothing Something for nothing Something for nothing Nothing
