Always Ready!

Old Fart Creed

I am the Old Fart, the Legacy of Battle!

I shoot straight though my knees rattle

I have kept our Nation safe and free

Thousands have stood with me

Purchasing freedom with my blood

My hand grenades work, they're not duds

To tyrants, I am a force of torture

To the fighting proud, the future

Where the fighting is thick, I was born

Body ripped, smashed and mind torn

I would gladly fight today

If the politicians would let me play

I am the Old Fart! WATCH MY CHAIR!
