Thank You For Your Service
That's what they say
When they find out
I was in the army
Little do they know
I didn't wanna go
That I got drafted
I was so cowardly

Thank You For Your Service
Good for my ego
To play their game
Acting like a hero
No way they can tell
I was chicken shit
Yellow and spineless
I'll never admit

I left a girl friend
She found someone else
I cried like a baby
Felt sorry for myself

Thank You For Your Service
More like doing time
I hid behind a desk
Praying for peacetime
I'd have run away
If I'd seen combat
Hid in the bushes
Like a pussycat

Coda:
Living for the day
I got my discharge
Back to the World
Goodbye, Sarge!

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
