The Perceptionists - Memorial Day lyrics

rate me

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!
