Born In A Tank

They buried me here in the winterTo an iron box I checked inI've never heard birds or seen daylightAnd nothing will ever come inI'm happy to lie here in darknessNaked safe, undisturbedFloating blind in waterIn my little world of dirtI live underground, born in a tank, on a day I rememberBuried alive, like a dog, late DecemberI think there was a sound from a battleAnd once I heard somebody screamToday a knock on the doorIt was just another bad dreamThey want to keep me secure hereFrom a world in chaos I'm safeI'm better off down in my small crateProtected by maggots and ratsI live underground, born in a tank, on a day I rememberBuried alive, like a dog, late DecemberI live underground, born in a tank, in the midst of nowhereBuried alive, like a dog, I was dumped and left there
