Sniper

"War - what is it good for ? Absolutely nothing !"
Frankie goes to Hollywood

You could have called me a lucky man. I had a woman who loved me, a 
son, a daughter and two dogs. I loved them all.

Then war came. I fighted as a sniper in a foreign land. When the 
other ones didn`t hit the inner ring of the target, i hit a nutshell 
at the same distance.

I was caught and became prisoner of war. 

When they set me free, 15 years were gone. My dogs were dead, my 
children didn`t recognize me and had children of their own, my wife 
had married another man and lived with him in the house I once had 
built. My life was ruined.

Somehow the president of my former state had survived and was now the 
leader of a political party.

I remembered my old talent. I don`t mind if I get captured again or 
if they will kill me. Here I lie on the roof. 

I won`t hit him in the head. I won`t hit him in the heart. Nutshell, 
you know ?
