Battle Scars of the Republic

 They said we'd be so secure

Taxing blood from the poor

Settle the Neo Con Artists' Score


Whaddya Know 

What the oilman found

A trillion dollars a power in the ground


And guess whose companies come to town

Stackin' prisoners and robbin riches

From the Junkies' clowns


They put their pets on the thrown

And Gave 'em golden bones

As broken bodies come home

from the combat zone


We prayed, with all our suckers' faith

that this disaster wouldn't go to waste.

But they keep pouring more souls

Down the killing hole


And sending orphans to the martyrs' fold.


Children in the storm

Pray "Watch Over Us."

The Universe says "I am."


Daddy's at the front

He wants to stay alive

A body does the best that it can.


Commander's orders push the forces

crost the battlefield

but the home town team wont yield


They take a booby-trapped mountain

but nobody's countin'

as the hummer burns to crumpled stee.


In his dreams

Before forever's sleep

Holdin' his babies

As their mama softly weeps.


Before his mind turns to black

In the final attack

Wondering what the hell he's doing here.


We cant afford

To save

Another president's face.

Because the War

Isn't righteous anymore
