	Story Behind the Song Peace, Freedom, Democracy: nice, packaged phrases. 'Field Full Of Clover' is an after-view of war about those that fought with pride in the service of their country while being lucky enough to have survived to make it back alive. For those less fortunate, all they recieve is a small resting place in a field full of clover. Both living and dead are seemingly thrown away and forgotten as "expendable" by a government that is no longer in need of their services. Such a senseless waste of life traded in for a mere piece of real-estate in a never-ending game of political leverage. Lyrics You busted your ass in a far off land Just to say you served your country For God, a flag and that D.C. man All for lack of sleep and a little money Got a government that just don't care Throw you away when the shit is over A set of new clothes and a free ticket there And, maybe, a shallow grave in a field full of clover Killed 'em in France, Germany, Korea and Nam Shot it up with the Viet Cong There lay many an island with many a cross They came to die but some got lost {Well, many a faces you have seen Ain't none yet that had a name Now, get off your ass(es) and open your eyes To where the government sends your children to die} For all those buried in foreign sand Bring them home to their promised land It is time to stop and realize That others don't want to be "Americanized" ("Hey, Wally, when will the battle for world domination end?")
