time to start over
    EVERYBODY KNOWS

Everybody knows that I'm crazy.
Everybody knows I'm insane.
Everybody knows the reason.
Everybody knows I'm to blame.

I volunteered for the army,
I volunteered for to go.
I signed the bottom line,
so off to war GI  Joe.

I found it to be more than ugly.
now we're back to that word insane.
I wonder am I the only,
one who remembers their name.

We have another war now,
more men are losing their lives.
We discover more all the time,
about this war with more lies.

More men will come back worse than me,
worse perhaps than ever before.
Tell me can you tell me,
what's the cost of this here war.

It's time to fire the congress,
give the senator his pink slip.
It's time to clean the barn,
and get rid of all of the bullshit.

It's time for us to start over,
It's time to begin again.
Past time for us to reclaim,
the title of American.

No more of our youth to be wasted,
in any war full of money and lies.
No way can a gallon of gas,
be the reason why anyone dies.
