Born in a Tank

They buried me here in the winter To an iron box I checked in I've never heard birds or seen daylight And nothing will ever come in I'm happy to lie here in darkness Naked safe, undisturbed Floating blind in water In my little world of dirt I live underground, born in a tank, on a day I remember Buried alive, like a dog, late December I think there was a sound from a battle And once I heard somebody scream Today a knock on the door It was just another bad dream They want to keep me secure here From a world in chaos I'm safe I'm better off down in my small crate Protected by maggots and rats I live underground, born in a tank, on a day I remember Buried alive, like a dog, late December I live underground, born in a tank, in the midst of nowhere Buried alive, like a dog, I was dumped and left there
