The Battling Boys of Benghazi
We’re the Battling Boys of Benghazi,
no fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell,
defending the country we loved so well.
It wasn’t our job but we answered the call,
fought to the consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate,
led them to safety and stood at the gate.
Just the two of us and foes by the score,
but we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
so we fought, and we fought, and we fought ‘till we died.
We gave our all for Uncle Sam,
but Barack Obama didn’t give a damn.
Just two dead SEALs who carried the load,
no thanks to us—we were just “bumps in the road.
