Iraq War Song (A Lesson)

Murray Wilde
Language: English




There's a story of honour,
wise men all like to tell
About a man who enlisted
to serve his country well
Uncle Sam said we need you,
stop the terror we face
Our bombs will teach them a lesson,
we're taking over this place.

It's a lesson about the choice we make to believe what isn't true
It's a lesson about the lives we take 'cause someone told us to

We turned the city to ashes
to find the weapons they had
All we found was the proof that
this was a mission gone bad
The newsmen said it was over,
our leaders told us we won
Now the truth is uncovered
why this war still goes on…

It's a lesson about the choice we make to believe what isn't true
It's a lesson about the lives we take - 'cause someone told us to
It's a lesson about the laws we break when we think it's right to do
It's a lesson about the human race - about me and you

The soldier's fight was for freedom,
show the people we care
Till the day he discovered
the enemy wasn't there
The soldier laid down his weapon,
he vowed to never return
Killing isn't the answer,
this was the lesson he learned..

It's a lesson about the choice we make to believe what isn't true
It's a lesson about the lives we take 'cause someone told us to
It's a lesson about the laws we break - when we think it's right to do
It's a lesson about the human race… about me and you

There's a story of honour,
wise men all like to tell…
