Red Badge
I’ve got my red badge of courage
It’s spreading over my chest
It’s oozing courage, its oozing bravo
I’ve finally got my red badge of courage
Now I pay the taxman
And enter death
Fighting for what is right
Isn’t always right
Will you die for a belief?
Will you die for an idea?
Will you die for a fantasy?
Will you die for me?
Will you earn your red badge of courage?
You stood up for someone who is already dead
\
And got shoot in the head
You’re bleeding over your chest
And you empty your pockets for the taxman
Your entering death
And for what,
That red badge of courage?
The red badge of courage
Are you feeling brave?
Are you willing to go to an early grave?
And for what
Someone you hardly knew
Someone that made fun of you
Your red badge of courage is an honorable thing
To bad that you wasted it on me
