Eddie joined the Guard when he got out of school
He worked at True Value, he’s nobody’s fool
Now it’s three hitches later, and it doesn’t seem cool
And Eddie is learning he’s just a tool

There’s peace on Earth tonight
And joy to the world
All around the world tonight
With the flag unfurled

Kitty Mae was going to be a doctor or a nurse
A few gall bladders and a white picket fence
But this bomb squad medic, for better or worse,
Gave her hands for the cause, does it really make sense?

There’s peace on Earth tonight
And joy to the world
All around the world tonight
With the flag unfurled

Yeah, they’re standing guard Somewhere tonight.
Because even if the job isn’t right,
Someone’s got to do it.
Yeah, keep the money flowing to the privileged few…
They’ll tell ya freedom isn’t free
And they want to go through it.

There’s peace on Earth tonight
And joy to the world
All around the world tonight
With the flag unfurled

There’s peace on Earth tonight
And joy to the world
All around the world tonight
With the flag unfurled

An original song from the upcoming surplus population holiday music CD, tinsel. It’s pro-troops, anti-war. Make up your own mind! It’s the best Christmas present you can give yourself.
