Desert Vines

Did anything grow out the ground
When you planted that flag in the dirt?
Was there anything that bloomed
When you buried those bones in the earth?
Did anything grow out the ground
When you planted that flag in the dirt?
Was there anything that bloomed
When you buried those bones in the earth?

I clocked in and went to war
Without knowing what my work was for
I signed on that dotted line
Connected the dots
I was doing my time
"Soldier on, son
The sun is bound to rise
While your brothers are bound to fall
They're bound to fall"

Was there any fruit born out of this labor of lust?
Of this labor of lust
Put a flower in my barrel and sterilize
And sterilize the wounds
Put a flower in my barrel and sterilize
And sterilize the wounds
Put a flower in my barrel and sterilize
And sterilize the wounds

Did anything grow?
Did anything bloom?
Did anything grow?
Did anything bloom?
Did anything grow?
Did anything bloom?
Did anything grow?
Did anything bloom?
