Description
As I walked down the street
past the banks and the stores,
the skyscrapers rising.
I saw soldiers in neckties,
saw them give up their lives,
for the good of the empire.

Then I walked into a store
past the fixtures of weapons,
the bayonets shining.
I saw a man in a uniform,
with a smile to kill me,
for the good of the empire

He said, "Hi, may I maim you?"
I said, "Yeah, I think that you can.
I'm in the market to get shot,
as many times as I can."
He said, "Yes, of course, sir.
We have what you need."

So I followed him back,
to a shelf full of bullets,
picked them up and he said,
"You need these, they won't kill you
so you can come bleed again
for the good of the empire."

I gathered the rounds,
and walked to the firing range.
There was a girl there, real pretty,
waiting for me with a gun,
she smiled at me, lovely,
"Did you find everything fine?"

I said, "Yes, yes I did."
Then I gave her the ammo,
which she fed into the gun.
I watched her delicate hands,
as the safety clicked off,
and I paid fully in blood.

I walked home quite happy
having parted gladly with blood.
Even the stray drops on my jacked
Did not go to waste.
I gave them up at the blood bank,
for the good of the empire.

As I walked again past the soldiers
I smiled to myself -
the service was good,
we all shared in that pride,
that devotion to duty.
For the good of the empire.
