A friend on the left, a friend on the right Rifle magazines full, wait for the fight With bolt action relics against modern arms These grim-faced insurgents have no chance A rumble of engines comes over the horizon Awaiting the tanks, men grip their guns That awaited onslaught never materialized The army stood down, refusing to fight That day through the chain of the army command Echoed the oath they all had once made To serve, to defend against various enemies Not for these men is the Nuremberg defense!
