Noble End Lyrics - Duh - Lagwagon

He grew up with nothing 

He lived and died poor 

a father of four 

He left his family temporarily 

for a future based on words of chicanery 

They said join the Army 

Join the Navy 

He joined the Marines 

and his children were proud 

but exhaltation was exhausted 

and patronage died 

when this expendable number 

left his family of five 

Imposture 

and all that man wanted was 

to provide a better existence for 

his kids and wife 

An investment that cost him his life 

A family of ethics has... 

A fatality of war can't be noble enough 

to justify the loss of life so young 

Continental security 

Atonement, there's no such thing 

There was no hero in the end 

Only letters of resent, remorse, regret 

Bitter resent 

Imposture 

and all those boys wanted was 

to be alive, 

a return of existence yet 

so many died 

and those who returned were alone 

with nothing awaiting at home 

Again the headlines read 

"A Noble Soldier Finds A Noble Ending" 

They are the ones who can be done without 

Expendable numbers forgott 

no doubt 

A family of ethics has died
