[00:00:08] Casualties of war

[00:00:18] Casualties of war as I approach the barricade

[00:00:21] Where's the enemy who do I invade

[00:00:23] Bullets of Teflon bulletproof vest rip

[00:00:25] Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips

[00:00:27] Cause I got a family that waits for my return

[00:00:30] To get back home is my main concern

[00:00:32] I'ma get back to New York in one piece

[00:00:34] But I'm bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets

[00:00:36] Sky lights up like fireworks blind me

[00:00:39] Bullets whistling over my head remind me

[00:00:41] President bush said attack

[00:00:43] Flashback to Nam I might not make it back

[00:00:46] Missile hits the area screams wake me up

[00:00:48] From a war of dreams heat up the m16

[00:00:50] Basic training trained for torture

[00:00:52] Take no prisoners and I just caught ya

[00:00:55] Addicted to murder send more bodybags

[00:00:57] They can't identify em leave the nametags

[00:00:59] I get a rush when I see blood dead bodies on the floor

[00:01:03] Casualties of war

[00:01:06] Casualties of war

[00:01:08] Casualties of war

[00:01:10] Casualties of war

[00:01:13] Day divides the night and night divides the day

[00:01:16] Its all hard work and no play

[00:01:18] More than combat its far beyond that

[00:01:20] Cause I got a kill or be killed kind of attack

[00:01:22] Areas mapped out there'll be no stratego

[00:01:25] Me and my platoon make a boom wherever we go

[00:01:27] But what are we here for who's on the other side of the wall

[00:01:30] Somebody give the president a call

[00:01:31] But I hear warfare scream through the air

[00:01:34] Back to the battlegrounds its war they declare

[00:01:36] A desert storm lets see who reigns supreme

[00:01:38] Something like monopoly a government scheme

[00:01:41] Go to the army be all you can be

[00:01:43] Another dead soldier hell no not me

[00:01:45] So I start letting off ammunition in every direction

[00:01:48] Allah is my only protection

[00:01:50] But wait a minute Saddam Hussein prays the same

[00:01:52] And this is Asia from where I came

[00:01:54] I'm on the wrong side so change the target

[00:01:57] Shooting at the general and wheres the sergeant

[00:01:59] Blame it on john hardy Hawkins for bringing me to America

[00:02:02] Now its mass hysteria

[00:02:04] I get a rush when I see blood dead bodies on the floor

[00:02:07] Casualties of war

[00:02:10] Casualties of war

[00:02:12] Casualties of war

[00:02:14] Casualties of war

[00:02:17] The war is over for now at least

[00:02:20] Just because they lost it don't mean its peace

[00:02:22] Its a long way home its a lot to think about

[00:02:24] Whole generation left in doubt

[00:02:26] Innocent families killed in the midst

[00:02:29] It'll be more dead people after this

[00:02:31] So I'm glad to be alive and walking

[00:02:33] Half of my platoon came home in coffins

[00:02:36] Except the general buried in the storm

[00:02:38] In bits and pieces no need to look for em

[00:02:41] I played it slick and got away with it

[00:02:43] Rigged it up so they would think they did it

[00:02:45] Now I'm home on reserves and you can bet

[00:02:47] When they call I'm going awol

[00:02:49] Cause it ain't no way I'm going back to war

[00:02:52] When I don't know who or what I'm fighting for

[00:02:54] So I wait for terrorists to attack

[00:02:56] Every time a truck backfires I fire back

[00:02:58] I look for shelter when a plane is over me

[00:03:01] Remember pearl harbor New York could be over g

[00:03:03] Kamikaze strapped with bombs

[00:03:05] No peace in the east they want revenge for Saddam

[00:03:08] Did I hear gunshots or thunder

[00:03:10] No time to wonder somebodys going under

[00:03:12] Put on my fatigues and my camoflouge

[00:03:15] Take control cause I'm in charge

[00:03:17] When I snapped out of it it was blood dead bodies on the floor

[00:03:21] Casualties of war

[00:03:23] Casualties of war

[00:03:25] Casualties of war

[00:03:27] Casualties of war
