Star Fleet Marine

Give me a mission, give me a gun, give me a chance to survive.
I'm just a poor grunt in the battle line. My God, I'll probably die.
My mother and father, and all of my friends,
All said goodbye to my face.
I've got the armor, and I've got the gun, I'm not a charity case.
I'll fight those hard fights, impossible odds,
Keeping my back to the wall.
If it costs me my life just to reach for my dream,
Well, I'm proud to be a Star Fleet Marine.

Give me an order that I can't refuse; Give me a fight I can't win.
This is my last time in the battle line, so like it or not, I'll take theŠ
Hard fights, impossible odds, keeping my back to the wall.
If it costs me my life just to reach for my dream,
Well, I'm proud to be a Star Fleet Marine.

Keeping my mind in a better place, while death's a heartbeat away.
Combat can be all I that heard that it was,
I close my eyes and I pray.
I'll fight those hard fights, impossible odds,
Keeping my back to the wall.
If it costs me my life just to reach for my dream,
Well, I'm proud to be a Star Fleet Marine.

I'll fight those hard fights, impossible odds,
Keeping my back to the wall.
If it costs me my life just to reach for my dream,
Well, I'm proud to be a Star Fleet Marine.
Got to be in Star Fleet. Proud to be a Star Fleet Marine

Apologies to Styx ("Blue Collar Man").
