[00:09.22] |
Casualties of war! |
[00:18.39] |
Casualties of war; as I approach the barricade |
[00:21.01] |
Wheres the enemy? who do I invade? |
[00:24.01] |
Bullets of teflon, bulletproof vest rip |
[00:25.88] |
Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips |
[00:28.44] |
Cause I got a family that waits for my return |
[00:30.94] |
To get back home is my main concern |
[00:32.50] |
Ima get back to new york in one piece |
[00:34.87] |
But Im bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets |
[00:37.42] |
Sky lights up like fireworks blind me |
[00:39.74] |
Bullets, whistlin over my head remind me... |
[00:42.05] |
|
[00:42.62] |
President bush said attack |
[00:43.62] |
|
[00:44.25] |
Flashback to nam, I might not make it back |
[00:46.54] |
Missile hits the area, screams wake me up |
[00:48.30] |
|
[00:48.86] |
From a war of dreams, heat up the m-16 |
[00:50.85] |
Basic training, trained for torture |
[00:52.67] |
|
[00:53.29] |
Take no prisoners, and I just caught ya |
[00:54.46] |
Addicted to murder, send more bodybags |
[00:56.59] |
|
[00:58.20] |
They cant identify em, leave the nametags |
[00:59.77] |
|
[01:00.29] |
I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor |
[01:03.30] |
|
[01:04.41] |
Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! |
[01:11.91] |
|
[01:14.34] |
Day divides the night and night divides the day |
[01:16.03] |
|
[01:16.90] |
Its all hard work and no play |
[01:18.65] |
More than combat, its far beyond that |
[01:20.15] |
|
[01:20.77] |
Cause I got a kill or be killed kind of attack |
[01:22.95] |
|
[01:23.51] |
Areas mapped out, therell be no, stratego |
[01:25.20] |
Me and my platoon make a boom wherever we go |
[01:27.95] |
But what are we here for? whos on the other side of the wall? |
[01:30.56] |
Somebody give the president a call |
[01:32.00] |
But I hear warfare scream through the air |
[01:34.74] |
Back to the battlegrounds, its war they declare |
[01:36.87] |
A desert storm: lets see who reigns supreme |
[01:39.46] |
Something like monopoly: a government scheme |
[01:40.90] |
|
[01:41.73] |
Go to the army, be all you can be |
[01:43.98] |
Another dead soldier? hell no, not me |
[01:46.19] |
So I start letting off ammunition in every direction |
[01:48.44] |
|
[01:49.07] |
Allah is my only protection |
[01:50.49] |
But wait a minute, saddam hussein prays the same |
[01:53.55] |
And this is asia, from where I came |
[01:55.79] |
Im on the wrong side, so change the target |
[01:57.92] |
Shooting at the general; and wheres the sergeant? |
[02:00.04] |
Blame it on john hardy hawkins for bringing me to america |
[02:02.41] |
Now its mass hysteria |
[02:04.91] |
I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor |
[02:08.38] |
|
[02:09.00] |
Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! |
[02:16.69] |
|
[02:18.93] |
The war is over, for now at least |
[02:20.74] |
Just because they lost it dont mean its peace |
[02:22.87] |
Its a long way home, its a lot to think about |
[02:25.11] |
Whole generation, left in doubt |
[02:27.82] |
Innocent families killed in the midst |
[02:29.95] |
Itll be more dead people after this |
[02:32.31] |
So Im glad to be alive and walkin |
[02:34.00] |
|
[02:35.06] |
Half of my platoon came home in coffins |
[02:36.99] |
Except the general, buried in the storm |
[02:38.98] |
In bits and pieces no need to look for em |
[02:41.54] |
I played it slick and got away with it |
[02:43.91] |
Rigged it up so they would think they did it |
[02:46.16] |
Now Im home on reserves and you can bet |
[02:48.55] |
When they call, Im going awol |
[02:49.73] |
|
[02:50.48] |
Cause it aint no way Im going back to war |
[02:52.91] |
When I dont know who or what Im fighting for |
[02:55.16] |
So I wait for terrorists to attack |
[02:57.53] |
Every time a truck backfires I fire back |
[02:59.96] |
I look for shelter when a plane is over me |
[03:02.18] |
Remember pearl harbor? new york could be over, g |
[03:04.31] |
Kamikaze, strapped with bombs |
[03:05.12] |
|
[03:06.74] |
No peace in the east, they want revenge for saddam |
[03:09.18] |
Did I hear gunshots, or thunder? |
[03:11.05] |
No time to wonder, somebodys going under |
[03:13.49] |
Put on my fatigues and my camoflouge |
[03:15.38] |
|
[03:16.01] |
Take control, cause Im in charge |
[03:18.32] |
When I snapped out of it, it was blood, dead bodies on the floor |
[03:22.68] |
Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! Casualties of war! |
