I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
Actuall this is "no war hero - III" since anti war song was the first post in this series.
I shifted a few lines of the bridge to improve its flow:
which were the noble goals again,
the altruistic motives, and
heroic deeds that were in store
that had us send our sons to war
our youth have lost their chastity
their bones are scraped up hastily
to be sent home in body bags
who will salute our dubious flag
Thus the first three lines make a proper list and are easier to understand - namely when you can NOT refer to the printed text. As this change influences the rhyming pattern I had to shift the lines in the second part of the bridge as well.
