An American Soldier, Act II Scene 3: What Real War is Like (Markum, Mother Chen)

Music: Huang Ruo MARCUM See, we all got problems Here at the palace: Booby-traps all around, Roadside bombs, Insurgents on all sides. My back’s been injured, But I still do my job. A dragon lady like him, Puts us all at risk. Here, let me show him, What real war is like.
He thinks he’s so smart I don’t give a damn Think his grades make him special, Better than me. Back home, those egg-rolls Get every advantage, But here, it’s different here, I’m in charge. A dragon lady like him, Puts us all at risk. Here and now, i’ll show him What real war is like.
PARKER Then, Sgt. Marcum --
MOTHER CHEN I know, I know! That man took my Ah Fai Forced him to crawl Over sharp rocks. Threw a rock With all his might
