that looks about right, i just came back thinking it needed the``boy`` added, you already did it. great minds think alike .
added another couple of things also.
i do stuff off the cuff and rarely go back and add or improve,but your interest got me having a relook at it.
feel free to add or subtract.
many thanks for your interest,if ya record it i`d love to hear it from a real musician.

i did it off the cuff only had the first line,the i started strumming and making up chords/lyric at it went along.
dont know if this is why u cant make out the words.it goes something like this i think.
on our first day of arrival
a sergeant said to me
better say your prayers boy
cause we`re in dangerous territory
where the bullets fly screams are heard
all day long
stubborn resistance and commitment strong
it`s not our place to be
it`s not our country
but we go where we are sent
because it`s our job
although it`s often said
this doesn`t make any sense
where the bombs fall and the fires burn
all night long
it`s not our country
it`s not our place to be

my preference is stripped down recordings,but nothing wrong with the big production
it is a skill in itself,and something you excel at.go for it.

great to see chordians covering chordians

I used to get bad comments if i did a 2.10 min song,a lot of people cant think out of the box.
They think a song is verse, chorus  3.00 mins etc
well i guess if you are trying to write a hit this may be the case.but if you are telling a story
well it takes as long or not as it takes.
its a bit like looking at a painting and saying the creator you`ve used too much red.
of course we all have different preferences and opinions.

Hey Jets
dont take it down,im a huge fan of your usual stuff,good on you for trying something different.
not a fan of over 3 mins ,but hey its your song.
a couple of words felt forced to get a rhyme,so yeah not one of your better songs,but still pretty good me thinks.
others will disagree with me and thats great,its just my opinion and im probably wrong anyway.
keep im coming

Jets
i usually love your songs and performance,but for me this one
is not quite up to your usual high standard.
hope you dont mind me saying this.
i always look forward to a new Jets song.
Of course this is only my opinion and who am i to comment anyway.
