Bob Dylan on There Stands The Glass by Webb Piercethe guy in this song has quite the back story and a lot to answer for. It's hard to be on the losing side of a lost cause, a lost enterprise, a cause with no object or purpose, unequivocally false from start to finish, he's been betrayed by politicians back home, forsaken and double crossed. Stabbed in the back by legislators and members of his own government. He doesn't recall ever having a soul, or if he did, it's long dead in the bottom of a lake.He fought like a savage, he stuck a bayonet into babies bellies and gouged out old men's eyes. He's been unfaithful to the human spirit and he's assassinated priests. He lost his independence years ago. He's lived on rations and he's done degenerate and demonic things. He plugs his head into nightly dreams, and sees million dollar wounds, purple hearts. He sees his ranks whittled down piecemeal. He rounds up the elderly, woman and children, torches their huts and turns his machine gun on them. He sees shadowy figures in black pajamas and conical hats. He sees a little boy two years old and murders him, he sees his buddies slit a little girl open with a knife, strip off her clothes and rape her, then he shoots her with an automatic, his horny buddy.He's back him now, shrapnel in his arms and legs-mosquito bites, he tells himself. He's standing in a crowded room, in the tavern on the green, and he looks around, he is surrounded by the enemy, it's zero hour. This is a ritual celebration where he is being honored as a hero, he tells the waiter to fill his glass to the brim. This is it. This is way it is. It could not have been any other way.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyuub51sPCM&list=RDUyuub51sPCM&start_radio=1
