I joined the army when high school was through I didnât know what else to do Thought Iâd take care of that traveling jones Then maybe take out some student loans
They sent me away to the land of the dead Where I didnât know a word that they said I got shot at a lot, I was nearly toast But itâs the ones that I killed that hurts the most
Most of the time I didnât know what was going on The rest of the time I knew there was something going wrong Every reason we were there turned out to be a lie I thought of that each time I saw another person die
I was supposed to stay for a year, they kept me for four By the time I got back home no one knew me anymore Of the man I once was there didnât seem to be a trace And when I looked me in the mirror I didnât recognize my face
I wasnât home too long before the time that I fell ill It was like the air was thick as mud and I ached enough to kill I didnât know Iâd been fighting in a nuclear war DU was in my blood and I was knocking on deathâs door
I canât tell you how it felt to be betrayed at every turn Like the earth was spinning backwards, like my heart began to burn Like I had to do something while I still had the strength to stand While I still could run with a machine gun in my hand
I thought of Halliburton and the military brass And the things they get away with all for their ruling class But Iâm not a pawn and I canât just let it be And if Iâm gonna die, Iâm gonna take some of them f***ers with me
Iâll spare you the details, I did what I had to do Thereâs a boardroom blown to hell and soon I will be, too You can say I lost it, you can say that Iâm insane But may no one ever say that my death was in vain
I joined the army when high school was through I didnât know what else to do |
