just another war song


Depersonalize your enemy --
Make it sound like a surgical remedy.
Make it sound just worthy.
Whatever harm you do
wrap it patriotically
in red, white, and blue.

Hey, Hey --
This is the way we go to war
Doesn't matter what we're fighting for

TV. ad sings "see all you can see
Find yourself -- Be a man --
Be all you can be --
March in a parade --
Throw a grenade --
Paint yourself green --
Call yourself mean"

but its just another war song
trying to get you to sing along
yea its just another war song
trying to get you to sing along

play it like a video game --
killing a stranger that has no name
rise in rank
drive a computerized tank
polish your gun
in the morning sun
until your last breath
you'll be put to the test
but you're sure to win
whatever you do
if you're wrapped in the good 'ole
red, white, and blue

It's just another war song
Trying to get you to sing along
Just another war song
Just another war song
Just another war song
Trying to get you to sing along

TV add sings
See all you can see
Find yourself, be a man
Be all you can be

Be an army of one
Be an army of one

Papa's boy left home to be a man
Found himself in the 43rd command
Found himself under a ticking bomb
Found himself dead in Lebanon

When its all over --
Over and done
Who's left smiling
Under the sun?

Its just another war song
Just another war song
