TRY AND TELL ME YOU CAN TRY TO SAY IT, ALL YOU WANT. I WILL NOT BELIEVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT. TRY AND TELL ME THERE IS NO WAR. TRY AND SAY TROOPS DIE NO MORE. ALL YOUR PICKET SIGNS SAY BRING US HOME. WHILE MOTHER STILL CRYS, NEXT TO THE PHONE. ALOT OF MY FRIENDS WERE HERE IN '03 THIS IS THE FIRST EXPERIENCE FOR ME THE TRIALS ARE DIFFERENT, AND SOFTER WE LIVE DOES THAT CHANGE THE SACRIFICE EACH OF US GIVE? BECAUSE EACH DAY IS NOT A DOG-FIGHT DOES IT CHANGE THE WORTH OF A SOLDIERS LIFE? THE FEAR OF THE ROAD IS IN MY MIND. I WILL FIND A WAY TO LEAVE THAT BEHIND BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO TELL ME I DO NOT BELONG HERE YET THE INOCENT CHILDREN'S EYES STILL RADIATE FEAR HOW CAN WE LEAVE THEM WITH NO SAFE-GUARD NO GOVERNMENT, LAW, AND BLOWN UP BAZAAR YOU TELL US TO LEAVE, ITS NOT EVEN A WAR THEN YOU COME HERE AND TRY DRIVING A CAR DRIVING TO WORK IN FEAR OF A BOMB DID YOU SAY YOUR LAST GOODBYE TO YOUR MOM DONT TRY AND TELL ME THIS PLACE IS OK. ITS NOT, I KNOW. IM HERE AND ILL STAY. SO QUIET YOUR MOUTH, UNTIL YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEEN ON THE ROADS, BLOWN UP, AND SHED TEARS FOR MY LIFE I AM GRATEFUL AND MY DRIVERS AS WELL BUT FOR BROTHERS IN ARMS, WE'VE SAID FAREWELL DAMAGED MINDS AND HEARTS WILL NEVER MEND FOR BODY'S AND GUNS THE ARMY WILL SPEND SO TELL ME NOW,THAT I FIGHT IN NO WAR TELL ME PEACEKEEPING IS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR THOUGH THE ENEMY SHOW NOT HIS FACE COMBAT AND DEATH ARE STILL IN THIS PLACE SO IF IT ON YOUR MIND TO SAY.
