\nUnder A Stun 
\nConcept & Lyrics:  Dennis Donovan

\n
\nUnder a stun
\nThe crew, whose hatch wasn\u2019t down
\nUnder a stun
\nThe crew who was hit by a sniper\u2019s round
\nRead Chapter D!
\nFor differences \u2018tween Shock and Stun
\nWoe is me, the crew got stung
\nThey\u2019re under a stun
\n
\nUnder a stun
\nThe half-track crew, who had a bad day
\nUnder a stun
\nThe crew who can\u2019t just drive away
\nBlew their MC
\nSad it is
\nThey\u2019re buttoned up \u2018till next Movement Phase
\nSeems to me
\nFor now they\u2019re done
\nThey\u2019re under a stun
\n
\nUnder a stun
\nIt\u2019s a tank.. hit .by falling rubble
\nUnder a stun
\nMG TK, number, equals TK Roll
\nSo please tell me,
\nI know they\u2019re stunned, are they broken too?
\nButtoned up, having no fun
\nThey\u2019re under a stun
\nIt seems to me, \u2026.oh yeah
\nThey\u2019ll be back up in a turn or two
\nStun is flipped, when CC\u2019s done
\nthey\u2019re under +1 (plus one)
\n
\nUnder a STUN
\nThose guys suffered a \u2018K\u2019 result
\nUnder a STUN, well
\nThis turn, they can do nothin\u2019 else              
\nSniper got me, d\u2019oh!  Commander\u2019s dead!
\nThey\u2019re buttoned up
\nand they\u2019re recalled too
\nThey exit,
\nchange has come
\n
\nThey\u2019re under a STUN
