Block the entrances
Close the doors
Seal the exits
'Cause this is war
All gave some
Some gave all
But for what
I want to know
Carry on
Don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight
Bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?
A folded flag
A purple heart
A family all but torn apart
I fought with courage to preserve
Not my way of life, but yours
Carry on
Don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight
Bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?
The cowards preach from pedestals
With words like courage and resolve
But what they meant was **** them all
'Cause freedom isn't free
They send our daughters and our sons
To deserts under burning suns
A sacrificial slaughtering to fill
The pockets of the weak
An artificial enemy
Are we so easily deceived?
They carry on
("You're a shameful opportunist! What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
"You had it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees.")
Don't carry on
Just walk away
How many more sent to their graves
In this lesson ignored?
I fought your fight
Bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?
What purpose did I serve?”
Thanks Judy

I have read this and once again John has put in a cryptic quote to explain his true feelings. IMO this tweet is
NOT referring to Josie but
IT IS referring to fans on both sides involved in tw*tter wars.
"("

"Never?

1. BIB The countries - he replaces them in his tweet with loys and muckers
"
Carry on
Don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight
Bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?"
2. BIB He's asking the question - why are they arguing, what will the end result all be
"
All gave some
Some gave all
But for what
I want to know"
3. BIB He's saying they ask him to tweet to talk, he's bought the fact they are 'supporters' of his but with all the vitriol on his timeline iho they are not 'the lie'
"
Carry on
Don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight
Bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?"
4. He's referring to all joint supporters, torn apart from all this arguing and hatred.
"A family all but torn apart"
5. He calls all tweeters and preachers who type their venon from behind a computer keyboard as cowards - he feels they don't support, their purpose is to only spit their hatred at whatever cost.
"The cowards preach from pedestals
With words like courage and resolve
But what they meant was **** them all
'Cause freedom isn't free"
6. He's saying there are real wars going on in the world, wars to give our children and our childrens children a better life and yet peeps are still hell bent on tweeting and arguing against one another.
They send our daughters and our sons
To deserts under burning suns
A sacrificial slaughtering to fill
The pockets of the weak
An artificial enemy
Are we so easily deceived?
7. He's asking this twitter rage to stop. He bought the lie that the supporters were there for him, but he is of the opinion they are there just to fight and argue. The life he has lost is Josie - the only reference to her. He's asking why are they arguing it serves no purpose and hes asking what purpose he served to his supporters - is he just there to be argued over?
Don't carry on

Just my take on it. Definately in retaliation of the hatred been spat out on twitter - he's actually in this saying he wants it to stop. If you are lurking - heed what he's saying. Cryptic as he is - once again to me he gets his point across.
