It went on the whole night
How did it come to this madness and chaos?
The first suicide bombing
Three kings
The word of the day
They don't have a security or reconstruction plan to implement
Our mission was at odds with itself
It was just a dog, another casualty of the war
They thought we were bringing them America
Just get me out
I didn't pray for the Iraqis
Indirect fire is really good at finding me
There's going to be an uprising here soon
Someone's going to fucking pay
Don't worry about it, we've got him
If I died, I died
For a split second ... I thought I understood it
It is gruesome to just beyond the realm of a horror film
I just had a hatred for the Iraqis
They were sending us out there in pieces of crap with no armor
Definitely not California
In war, the best of you shines
Killed in action
I was an American soldier
Some of these people are the lost generation
Shot in the head
Walking through the graves
Just a matter of luck
You don't want to look at your friend who has just been shot
I am changed
This is what happens when people speak to each other with rifles
It's the cold, blunt truth : there was a little girl that died
We just killed a bunch of dudes who were on our side
And then I hear the explosion
The next generation of insurgents
Nor dread the plagues of darkness
War turns you into what your mother wishes you would never be
I didn't get my happy ass blown up ... that is what winning is now
Hopefully I provided some relief
What the fuck is wrong with that guy? : ... he's an Iraq vet
I'm glad you're doing it and not me
