Testo Casualties Of War

Casualties of War!Casualties of war; as I approach the barricadeWhere's the enemy? Who do I invade?Bullets of Teflon, bulletproof vest ripTear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clipsCause I got a family that waits for my returnTo get back home is my main concernI'ma get back to New York in one piecebut I'm bent in the sand that is hot as the city streetsSky lights up like fireworks blind meBullets, whistlin over my head remind me...President Bush said attackFlashback to Nam, I might not make it backMissile hits the area, screams wake me upfrom a war of dreams, heat up the M-16Basic training, trained for tortureTake no prisoners, and I just caught yaAddicted to murder, send more bodybagsThey can't identify em, leave the nametagsI get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floorCASUALTIES OF WAR! (4X)Day divides the night and night divides the dayIt's all hard work and no playMore than combat, it's far beyond thatCause I got a kill or be killed kind of attackArea's mapped out, there'll be no, StrategoMe and my platoon make a boom wherever we goBut what are we here for? Who's on the other side of the wall?Somebody give the President a callBut I hear warfare scream through the airBack to the battlegrounds, it's war they declareA Desert Storm: let's see who reigns supremeSomething like Monopoly: a government schemeGo to the Army, be all you can beAnother dead soldier? Hell no, not meSo I start letting off ammunition in every directionAllah is my only protectionBut wait a minute, Saddam Hussein prays the sameand this is Asia, from where I cameI'm on the wrong side, so change the targetShooting at the general; and where's the sergeant?Blame it on John Hardy Hawkins for bringing me to AmericaNow it's mass hysteriaI get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floorCASUALTIES OF WAR! (4X)The war is over, for now at leastJust because they lost it don't mean it's peaceIt's a long way home, it's a lot to think aboutWhole generation, left in doubtInnocent families killed in the midstIt'll be more dead people after thisSo I'm glad to be alive and walkinHalf of my platoon came home in coffinsExcept the general, buried in the Stormin bits and pieces no need to look for emI played it slick and got away with itRigged it up so they would think they did itNow I'm home on reserves and you can betwhen THEY call, I'm going AWOLCause it ain't no way I'm going back to warwhen I don't know who or what I'm fighting forSo I wait for terrorists to attackEvery time a truck backfires I fire backI look for shelter when a plane is over meRemember Pearl Harbor? New York could be over, GKamikaze, strapped with bombsNo peace in the East, they want revenge for SaddamDid I hear gunshots, or thunder?No time to wonder, somebody's going underPut on my fatigues and my camoflougeTake control, cause I'm in chargeWhen I snapped out of it, it was blood, dead bodies on the floorCASUALTIES OF WAR! (4X)
