I fought a war called, Vietnam
I then came home to be spat upon
Now I hear Welcome home"
Where in hell were you when I was alone?
Wars they come, wars they go
We're older now, does it show?
We've learned, we say
Today is a new day
America must have an attention problem
Concentrate on a new day
America's answer?
"Hey a new country for our war to play"
Attention span is a might short
"A new war" is America's retort
I see, "Support our troops'
I guess violence and carnage are our roots
"We really prefer peace"
Until chickens once again come home to roost
More young people with innocent faces
Sent to kill and be killed in foreign places
"They need more children, Honey'"
"Since we've learned war brings big money"
Off to another war they go
Backpacks and guns in toe
Will they return?
No one for sure can know
No one knows till the die is cast
Not until this war is in our past
But we do already know
This war will not be our last
America dusts off it's killing machine
Again and again
In the future your children they will send
America's blood thirst will never end
Oh Mom and Dad make it end
Ignore the lies
Tell them your kids you won't send
Stop showing up, again and again
Think not sending them is unpatriotic?
Our kids being killed in foreign lands is not exotic
War is simply chaotic
America, you need a tonic
Snap out of it, get well
They say 'war' you say, 'go to hell'
In too many wars, in too many lands they fell
America, heal, time to get well
