This track is not autobiographical, because when I was a child, I never joined the army.
lyrics
Where can a young man learn how to kill with just a knife, pick up useful business skills and get an edge on life? Where can you earn more than just a little bit of dough, while building strong connections that help everywhere you go?
You can find it in the army, if you give it all you got...
Where can you dance with danger and have a lot of fun?
Where can you meet a plethora of beautiful young women,
learn life's little lessons looking down the barrel of a gun,
and give your mom a heart attack because she thinks you're too young?
You can find it in the army, if you give it all you got...
Do I have to tell you that some writing is fiction? For starters, I was never in the army...
