Please let it be known, I am a true blue, cool-aid drinker.
No one that ever knew me would accuse me as a thinker.
If there were a true thought, no not in my dome.
We're it not for the leash I would not make it home.
Every soldier that served with us believed 9/11 was a lie. We thought the people would expose the lie and bring us home. I got friends that are there in Baghdad in '07 on their third tour, three years in Iraq. So...we're done in Baghdad we killed enough people. -Iraq Veteran
Yeah!
Bring 'em home!
Yeah! Yeah!
Bring 'em home!
Come On! Come On!
Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
You can come home your job is done now
The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
We pay the bills while they tow the line
they tow the line yeah they tow the line
The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
We pay the bills while they tow the line
We all remember where we were that day
when the lie was born and the tv played
We danced around in a bloody rage
while the neo-cons laughed and played
The call went out and the heed was paid
The uniform and the Green Berets
In the wrong time, all in the wrong place
While the war drums beat all night and day away
Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
You can come home your job is done now
The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
We pay the bills while they tow the line
The years went on and nothing changed
The lie was dying and the tv played that same old song
but we're not the same
We're sick and tired of playing that fucked up game
All the politicians are a fucking shame
They don't understand a blue collar man
And the General doesn't fuckin' care
That a mothers son will never be here again
Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
You can come home your job is done now
The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
We pay the bills while they tow the line
they tow the line yeah they tow the line
The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
We pay the bills while they tow the line
The troops come home to Ward 57
The boys come home confused and forgotten
Wonderin' if Uncle Sam's still listening
to kids in the neighborhoods dying for FREEDOM
We all remember where we were that day
When the lie was born and the tv played
We all know that it wasn't for nothing cuz that was the day
the veil dropped on the illusion
Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
You can come home your job is done now
The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
We pay the bills while they tow the line
Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
You can come home your job is done now
The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
We pay the bills while they tow the line
What's our mission? What's our goal? I thought we were gonna find the people that did 9/11, I thought we were gonna get these weapons of mass destruction. We gotta be of help over there. They're like all we're trying to do is make it home alive. You guys know the lies, but I bled for these lies. I watched my brothers die for these lies. -Iraq Veteran
