lyrics

We're going away to a far-off land
And we might not ever get back again
We're going to fight what we don't understand
Don't you blame us, they never told us much

We're coming with bombs and guns and grenades
No matter what happens, they'll boast of the progress we've made
We're coming to bring freedom, peace is on the way
But nobody knows how long that's gonna take

The death count's enormous, everyone can see
But nobody wants to see that on TV

I'm thinking of my wife and my child just born
Hoping and praying I'll live to see them once more
Cause we've lost someone already, and things are lookin' bad
This is the worst field trip I've ever had

The death count's enormous, everyone can see
But nobody wants to see that on TV

I've never seen so much rotting dead flesh
But I don't have any time right now to think about regrets
You can save that for when I get home, that's if I come home at all
Tortured by what I've seen, with my face against the wall

The death count's enormous, everyone can see
But nobody wants to see that on TV

Ten years gone by, I'm doin' bad
This ain't the kind of life I thought I'd have
I can barely get by, my bills are too high
I don't have my left arm, or my right eye anymore

But they made billions off of guys like us
They threw us all to the back of the bus
They sent us into war based on lies
But we are the ones who are left to pay the price
