You don't take it as an insult 'Cause you know you're proud to be it You're a grunt You keep your mouth shut And do what your told You're a grunt Jump into the fire 'cause you gotta get some Action A step away from death is gonna get you Satisfaction Everybody thinks it's a psychotic reaction But it's not You're a grunt You do it 'til it's done and it fades to black Don't do it for the glory or a pat on the back Ain't tryin' to be no hero, you're just tryin' To be What you are You're a grunt
