I joined the army when high school was through[00:00:03]
I didn't know what else to do[00:00:06]
Thought I'd take care of that traveling jones[00:00:10]
Then maybe take out some student loans[00:00:12]
They sent me away to the land of the dead[00:00:15]
Where I didn't know a word that they said[00:00:18]
I got shot at a lot I was nearly toast[00:00:22]
But it's the ones that I killed that hurts the most[00:00:25]
Most of the time I didn't know what was going on[00:00:28]
The rest of the time I knew there was something going wrong[00:00:32]
Every reason we were there turned out to be a lie[00:00:35]
I thought of that each time I saw another person die[00:00:38]
I was supposed to stay for a year they kept me for four[00:00:54]
By the time I got back home no one knew me anymore[00:00:57]
Of the man I once was there didn't seem to be a trace[00:01:00]
And when I looked me in the mirror I didn't recognize my face[00:01:04]
I wasn't home too long before the time that I fell ill[00:01:07]
It was like the air was thick as mud and I ached enough to kill[00:01:10]
I didn't know I'd been fighting in a nuclear war[00:01:13]
DU was in my blood and I was knocking on death's door[00:01:17]
I can't tell you how it felt to be betrayed at every turn[00:01:20]
Like the earth was spinning backwards like my heart began to burn[00:01:23]
Like I had to do something while I still had the strength to stand[00:01:26]
While I still could run with a machine gun in my hand[00:01:30]
I thought of Halliburton and the military brass[00:01:46]
And the things they get away with all for their ruling class[00:01:49]
But I'm not a pawn and I can't just let it be[00:01:52]
And if I'm gonna die I'm gonna take some of them f***ers with me[00:01:55]
I'll spare you the details I did what I had to do[00:01:58]
There's a boardroom blown to hell and soon I will be too[00:02:01]
You can say I lost it you can say that I'm insane[00:02:05]
But may no one ever say that my death was in vain[00:02:08]
I joined the army when high school was through[00:02:11]
I didn't know what else to do[00:02:14]
