WAR, FIVE Almost four thousand lost, Heroes And thirty thousand wounded, more Countless civilians and innocents Have been killed in this damned war. The World, been made no safer No matter, what the spinners say More enemies who want to kill us Because, we want to change, their way. We just give them more excuses The longer, in their sacred land They don't want us over there It's not that hard, to understand. Their forces are already here They just cross our open borders Laying low, until that time They receive their marching orders, Our Troops should be here in our Homeland Where the next war might be fought If you think we stop them, in Iraq Then, you believe an ignorant, thought. We spend, our Soldiers precious blood And waste, the treasure of us all Just so we could have, the claim to fame We made one lone, evil, tyrant fall. In amongst, those Islam extremists There's always one to take his place Who hates the "infidel" as much As all those, history, can trace. Our politics and our promises Don't mean a thing to all those tribes To them, talk about our democracy Are just lies and empty, diatribes. The common people may want freedom But so far, it's not done them, much good Some even say, they'd prefer Saddam And would have him back, if they could. They will spend us down, over there Until wealth and Soldiers, spread so thin Can't protect our own Nation's shores Because of this war, we'll never win. They've been at this a thousand years And they have, nothing, but time Think, it's a privilege for them, dying For the death, of yours and mine. When, those radicals knock at your door And, cut your head off in the street When they overrun us here at Home Now, that's the true meaning of, defeat.
