Casualties of war[00:00:08]
Casualties of war as I approach the barricade[00:00:17]
Wheres the enemy who do I invade[00:00:20]
Bullets of teflon bulletproof vest rip[00:00:23]
Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips[00:00:25]
Cause I got a family that waits for my return[00:00:27]
To get back home is my main concern[00:00:29]
I'ma get back to new york in one piece[00:00:32]
But I'm bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets[00:00:34]
Sky lights up like fireworks blind me[00:00:36]
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[00:00:43]
Missile hits the area screams wake me up[00:00:46]
From a war of dreams heat up the m 16[00:00:47]
Basic training trained for torture[00:00:50]
Take no prisoners and I just caught ya[00:00:52]
Addicted to murder send more bodybags[00:00:55]
They can't identify em leave the nametags[00:00:57]
I get a rush when I see blood dead bodies on the floor[00:00:59]
Casualties of war Casualties of war Casualties of war Casualties of war[00:01:03]
Day divides the night and night divides the day[00:01:13]
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[00:01:22]
Me and my platoon make a boom wherever we go[00:01:24]
But what are we here for whos on the other side of the wall[00:01:27]
Somebody give the president a call[00:01:29]
But I hear warfare scream through the air[00:01:31]
Back to the battlegrounds its war they declare[00:01:34]
A desert storm:let's see who reigns supreme[00:01:36]
Something like monopoly:a government scheme[00:01:38]
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[00:01:45]
Allah is my only protection[00:01:48]
But wait a minute saddam hussein prays the same[00:01:49]
And this is asia from where I came[00:01:52]
I'm on the wrong side so change the target[00:01:54]
Shooting at the general and wheres the sergeant[00:01:56]
Blame it on john hardy hawkins for bringing me to america[00:01:59]
Now its mass hysteria[00:02:02]
I get a rush when I see blood dead bodies on the floor[00:02:03]
Casualties of war Casualties of war Casualties of war Casualties of war[00:02:07]
The war is over for now at least[00:02:17]
Just because they lost it don't mean its peace[00:02:19]
Its a long way home its a lot to think about[00:02:22]
Whole generation left in doubt[00:02:24]
Innocent families killed in the midst[00:02:26]
Itll be more dead people after this[00:02:29]
So I'm glad to be alive and walkin[00:02:31]
Half of my platoon came home in coffins[00:02:33]
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[00:02:42]
Now I'm home on reserves and you can bet[00:02:45]
When they call I'm going awol[00:02:47]
Cause it ain't no way I'm going back to war[00:02:49]
When I don't know who or what I'm fighting for[00:02:51]
So I wait for terrorists to attack[00:02:54]
Every time a truck backfires I fire back[00:02:56]
I look for shelter when a plane is over me[00:02:58]
Remember pearl harbor new york could be over g[00:03:01]
Kamikaze strapped with bombs[00:03:03]
No peace in the east they want revenge for saddam[00:03:05]
Did I hear gunshots or thunder[00:03:08]
No time to wonder somebodys going under[00:03:10]
Put on my fatigues and my camoflouge[00:03:12]
Take control cause I'm in charge[00:03:14]
When I snapped out of it it was blood dead bodies on the floor[00:03:17]
Casualties of war Casualties of war Casualties of war Casualties of war[00:03:21]
