Stalking streets, occupying force
Foreign children killed by our bombs
I.E.D. retaliation - shrapnel skull, no tales to tell
Landmine dislocation - car bomb annihilation
God is great - a smoking crater
Mission accomplished - oil landgrab
Nine years in and going strong
Suckered into a stupid death
By smiling pricks in recruitment posters
Crippled mercilessly by homemade bombs
Wandering the streets in military fatigues
Demoralized by violence, jaded with life
Democracy is delivered by an I.C.B.M.
Get 'er done, glamour shot, another senseless death
Plastic leg, he was a hero
A steaming pile of human guts
...he might be home, but he's never coming back
