What you need is a validation
Go ahead you got my permission
Come on and search
Search deep inside
The people are battlefields
East and West
We're tools for the industry
All pawns and puppets of flesh and bone
Will die for their leaders far from their homes
No more than what they used to be
Hard stinging rain
Hope for hope is really a prayer
Horseshit in the breeze
Smells just like home to me
If we heard mortar shells
We'd cuss more in our songs
And cut down on guitar solos
Falling down the road
Steeper as it goes
The goddamned six o'clock news makes sure I keep thinking of World War III
Should we fight this war
In some far corner of the globe
They keep themselves hidden away
They keep themselves up on the hill
Afraid that they'll have to pay
For all the crimes upon their head
Wake up!
Heart yanked out
Afraid to see that their cause was unjust
My story could be his songs
I'm his soldier child
The ship's creaking
Taking on bullshit
You better listen to me
'Cause I'm gonna tell you, son
Playin' stooge
Eatin' shit
All the papers write about Johnny
We'll talk some reason
We could look at the past
Looking around at all my comrades
He has his condo
It's a wonderful life
A colonial trait that's much too old
I see a child cry
I can't help but ask why
All the scars that never heal
The interruption went
Small snag in life
A model that will surely die
If I could, I surely would
Give my life to you
So you can have two
