Casualties Of War

Casualties of war
Casualties of war as I approach the barricade
Wheres the enemy who do I invade
Bullets of teflon bulletproof vest rip
Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips
Cause I got a family that waits for my return
To get back home is my main concern
I'ma get back to new york in one piece
But I'm bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets
Sky lights up like fireworks blind me
Bullets whistlin over my head remind me
President bush said attack
Flashback to nam I might not make it back
Missile hits the area screams wake me up
From a war of dreams heat up the m 16
Basic training trained for torture
Take no prisoners and I just caught ya
Addicted to murder send more bodybags
They can't identify em leave the nametags
I get a rush when I see blood dead bodies on the floor

Day divides the night and night divides the day
Its all hard work and no play
More than combat its far beyond that
Cause I got a kill or be killed kind of attack
Areas mapped out therell be no stratego
Me and my platoon make a boom wherever we go
But what are we here for whos on the other side of the wall
Somebody give the president a call
But I hear warfare scream through the air
Back to the battlegrounds its war they declare
A desert storm：let's see who reigns supreme
Something like monopoly：a government scheme
Go to the army be all you can be
Another dead soldier hell no not me
So I start letting off ammunition in every direction
Allah is my only protection
But wait a minute saddam hussein prays the same
And this is asia from where I came
I'm on the wrong side so change the target
Shooting at the general and wheres the sergeant
Blame it on john hardy hawkins for bringing me to america
Now its mass hysteria
I get a rush when I see blood dead bodies on the floor

The war is over for now at least
Just because they lost it don't mean its peace
Its a long way home its a lot to think about
Whole generation left in doubt
Innocent families killed in the midst
Itll be more dead people after this
So I'm glad to be alive and walkin
Half of my platoon came home in coffins
Except the general buried in the storm
In bits and pieces no need to look for em
I played it slick and got away with it
Rigged it up so they would think they did it
Now I'm home on reserves and you can bet
When they call I'm going awol
Cause it ain't no way I'm going back to war
When I don't know who or what I'm fighting for
So I wait for terrorists to attack
Every time a truck backfires I fire back
I look for shelter when a plane is over me
Remember pearl harbor new york could be over g
Kamikaze strapped with bombs
No peace in the east they want revenge for saddam
Did I hear gunshots or thunder
No time to wonder somebodys going under
Put on my fatigues and my camoflouge
Take control cause I'm in charge
When I snapped out of it it was blood dead bodies on the floor
