Ryan Harvey - Search And Avoid lyrics

rate me

The orders were clear that were handed down

Ground patrol, hostile town

The insurgency's growing cuz they want us out

So we all seem to agree

We drove off the base, guns loaded up

Scared of the deaths approaching us

Til my friend said slow down, wait, hold up

Turn left, just trust me

Nah, no way, not me, f*ck that

I ain't gonna enter no death trap

I won't kill or be killed, and when I get back

I'm gonna work to bring the troops back home

Search and avoid, you make the rules

It's a profit war, don't be fooled

It ain't worth your life to transport fuel

Soldier, you're not alone!

We found a bridge outside of town

Where we'd be safe from the mortar rounds

Parked under there and just sat around

Playing cards and relaxing

Every hour or so we'd phone in

Rev the engine with a silent grin

Say "we set some check points, didn't find a thing"

I guess nobody's attacking

Nah, no way, not me, f*ck that

I ain't gonna enter no death trap

I won't kill or be killed, and when I get back

I'm gonna work to bring the troops back home

Search and avoid, you make the rules

It's a profit war, don't be fooled

KBR Contractor's sitting at the pool

And he'll never see the combat zone

At the end of the day we rolled away

Laughing about how we'd spent the day

"Bush wants to kill us", my friend would say

He should come to Samarra and see"

Cuz we ain't liberatin', we're invadin'

It's an unjust war and occupation

So from here on out my destination

Is gonna be up to me

Nah, no way, not me, f*ck that

I ain't gonna enter no death trap

I won't kill or be killed, and when I get back

I'm gonna work to bring the troops back home

Search and avoid, you make the rules

It's a profit war, don't be fooled

And the folks back home know it's bullsh*t too

Soldier, you're not alone!
