A plane was flying through the sky
And I knew the people would soon die
Because the missiles were attached
Now they’re dropping bombs on a foreign land
They’re dropping bombs on Afghanistan
Never looking back
And the bombs are falling like they did before
From Vietnam to El Slavador
Killing children as they fall
And if you oppose this brutual fight
They’ll take away your Bill of Rights
You’ll feel safer will your back against the wall
Is this any way to pay respect to the dead?
We could be waging peace instead
You can tell by the words of the president
“You’re either with us, or you’re with them”
He won’t rest until everybody’s dead
Sitting in your trench in your camoflauge
Home is just a sick mirage
A victim of the power and the greed
Firing your gun like it’s just a game
Civilians and soldier are just the same
Fighting for a fake democracy
Now they’ve got you standing in a sea of red
“Pay no attention to the dead
So turn your head or close your eyes”
Risking your life for a man who cares
More for money and billionaires
Than saving people’s lives
The coffins are stacked up 2 by 2
The picture is nothing new
We’ve been watching people die for so long
We’re starting to get used to it
Power, guns, and profit
It’s the American way it can’t be wrong
It was us who trained the Taliban
Us who funded Bin Laden
When the CIA needed extra funds
“We don’t really care who we sold them to
As long they paid us through and through”
Spending our taxes guns
I saw people going by today
Nobody knew what to say
You hear them speak but you never hear them talk
Trapped in the claws of the media
All the lies they feed to ya
Justifying every war we’ve fought
Yes the government can be wrong
They are and they have been all along
Every war they wage is for themselves
Terror won’t be stopped through war
We’ve already tried and failed before
With every bomb the violence excels
And I knew the people would soon die
Because the missiles were attached
Now they’re dropping bombs on a foreign land
They’re dropping bombs on Afghanistan
Never looking back
And the bombs are falling like they did before
From Vietnam to El Slavador
Killing children as they fall
