Casualties of war![00:00:09]

Casualties of war; as I approach the barricade[00:00:18]

Wheres the enemy? who do I invade?[00:00:21]

Bullets of teflon, bulletproof vest rip[00:00:24]

Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips[00:00:25]

Cause I got a family that waits for my return[00:00:28]

To get back home is my main concern[00:00:30]

Ima get back to new york in one piece[00:00:32]

But Im bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets[00:00:34]

Sky lights up like fireworks blind me[00:00:37]

Bullets, whistlin over my head remind me...[00:00:39]

President bush said attack[00:00:42]

Flashback to nam, I might not make it back[00:00:44]

Missile hits the area, screams wake me up[00:00:46]

From a war of dreams, heat up the m-16[00:00:48]

Basic training, trained for torture[00:00:50]

Take no prisoners, and I just caught ya[00:00:53]

Addicted to murder, send more bodybags[00:00:54]

They cant identify em, leave the nametags[00:00:58]

I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor[00:01:00]

Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war![00:01:04]

Day divides the night and night divides the day[00:01:14]

Its all hard work and no play[00:01:16]

More than combat, its far beyond that[00:01:18]

Cause I got a kill or be killed kind of attack[00:01:20]

Areas mapped out, therell be no, stratego[00:01:23]

Me and my platoon make a boom wherever we go[00:01:25]

But what are we here for? whos on the other side of the wall?[00:01:27]

Somebody give the president a call[00:01:30]

But I hear warfare scream through the air[00:01:32]

Back to the battlegrounds, its war they declare[00:01:34]

A desert storm: lets see who reigns supreme[00:01:36]

Something like monopoly: a government scheme[00:01:39]

Go to the army, be all you can be[00:01:41]

Another dead soldier? hell no, not me[00:01:43]

So I start letting off ammunition in every direction[00:01:46]

Allah is my only protection[00:01:49]

But wait a minute, saddam hussein prays the same[00:01:50]

And this is asia, from where I came[00:01:53]

Im on the wrong side, so change the target[00:01:55]

Shooting at the general; and wheres the sergeant?[00:01:57]

Blame it on john hardy hawkins for bringing me to america[00:02:00]

Now its mass hysteria[00:02:02]

I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor[00:02:04]

Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war![00:02:09]

The war is over, for now at least[00:02:18]

Just because they lost it dont mean its peace[00:02:20]

Its a long way home, its a lot to think about[00:02:22]

Whole generation, left in doubt[00:02:25]

Innocent families killed in the midst[00:02:27]

Itll be more dead people after this[00:02:29]

So Im glad to be alive and walkin[00:02:32]

Half of my platoon came home in coffins[00:02:35]

Except the general, buried in the storm[00:02:36]

In bits and pieces no need to look for em[00:02:38]

I played it slick and got away with it[00:02:41]

Rigged it up so they would think they did it[00:02:43]

Now Im home on reserves and you can bet[00:02:46]

When they call, Im going awol[00:02:48]

Cause it aint no way Im going back to war[00:02:50]

When I dont know who or what Im fighting for[00:02:52]

So I wait for terrorists to attack[00:02:55]

Every time a truck backfires I fire back[00:02:57]

I look for shelter when a plane is over me[00:02:59]

Remember pearl harbor? new york could be over, g[00:03:02]

Kamikaze, strapped with bombs[00:03:04]

No peace in the east, they want revenge for saddam[00:03:06]

Did I hear gunshots, or thunder?[00:03:09]

No time to wonder, somebodys going under[00:03:11]

Put on my fatigues and my camoflouge[00:03:13]

Take control, cause Im in charge[00:03:16]

When I snapped out of it, it was blood, dead bodies on the floor[00:03:18]

Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war![00:03:22]
