Memorial Day — текст песни (The Perceptionists)

I`ve got a question..
I`ve got a question..

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
We been lookin` for months and we ain`t found nothin`
Please Mr. President, tell us something
We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing!

[Mr. Lif]
How unfortunate, it wasn`t what you thought it kid, in basic training
They taught you how to slay man as a start-up kit
and you showed up with a gun to load up
Hopin` a college education`s waitin`, maybe a steady occupation
Now you`re weighing many lives against yours
President orders, got you on course, with holocaust, Sargent is lost
General`s boss, plans cross, now you in the crosshair
of a sniper`s shaky scared, shot of your ear
All fucked up now! one round just hit him in his from some young yet expendable citizen
He`s from the other side of the line, fightin` for time
Time to see his kids walk, time to talk with his pops
Time to have a rational thought without the thought of bein` shot
(Damn) his gun jammed now you gotta bombart
It`s a soldier`s suicide slide - know you tried hard to stay alive
When you`re catching fire from both sides
and we miss you at home, its time the government truly left you alone
Dropped you off and popped one in your dome
Now we`ve seen it in Iraq and the Congo - America`s motto
Kill their leader then we build a stronghold!!

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
We been lookin` for months and we ain`t found nothin`
Please Mr. President, tell us something
We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing!

[Akrobatik]
I never thought of this the day that I enlisted
That I`d be dodging bullets, seekin weapons that never even existed
For someone else`s personal beef, I risk myself
While the Commander-in-Chief, would never come to fight himself
I feel I`m bein` tricked even worse that the civilians
Nobody ever told me that we would be killin` children!!
Feelin like the ones that sent me here are the psychotics
but if I say that out loud -- I`m unpatriotic
but would Donald Rumsfeld back me up with the chrome?
Would Tom Ridge fight or would he stay secure back home?
and would Condoleeza Rice cover grenades in a fox hole?
I`m startin to believe what I was told is not so
What`s the reason for the war?
I`m shootin at these people that I got not animosity for
I wonder if I`m just a pawn in someone else`s struggle
or a here even though I`m just a small piece of the puzzle
I know that when I finally return where I reside
I`ll make up for the months my wife and moms cried
and carry on for all my fallen brothers that died
but you can`t take my pride -- cuz I`m a fuckin` SOLDIER

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
We been lookin` for months and we ain`t found nothin`
Please Mr. President, tell us something
We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing!

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
We been lookin` for months and we ain`t found nothin`
Please Mr. President, tell us something
We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing!
