thinking god knows what, sleepy conscripts, it seems born

to protect the US consulate -- the occupying hoard --

against robust versions of themselves in civvies.

There have been incidents. GIs say they asked for it.

Even call them "Comfort Girls;" treat them like privvies,

say locals, and flush them like Yankee Doodle sh*t.

Of course, the school bus is not here for that reason.

Korea became a victim of the Cold War.

If the Yanks left. f*ck it. Some will call it treason,

I say to Danni that night at a Western bar.

Half-soused Danni shows a kindled fire for children,

marriage, leaving. But Elvis just left the building.
