The Combat Zone

THE COMBAT ZONE - Written by Carroll Bryant

It was at night

When I thought I saw stars in the sky

It was fire works

From another unscheduled Fourth of July

I heard the sound of thunder

Death surrounding me on all sides

My friends were sitting there with me

With tears in their eyes

And the funny thing about it

I was gonna go home

But they said no

You're in a combat zone

A combat zone

The combat zone

It was a nightmare

Like nothing I had ever seen

Who could have imagined

That we could be so cruel and mean?

But it was happening

Here, now, right before my very eyes

In the darkness, I couldn't see past the light
And the funny thing about it

I was supposed to go home

But they said no

You're in a combat zone

A combat zone

The combat zone

And when the show was over

And our senseless fight was through

The people claimed in celebration

That it was a humanitarian thing to do

I can't buy this subscription

There was nothing there to prove

The people say we were the winners

But I believe ... both sides did lose

And the funny thing about it

I was gonna go home

But they said no

You're in a combat zone

A combat zone

The combat zone
