Bombs are flying, Baghdad has fallen
But where are these Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Was this a threat or did we go to war
Just so our government could even the score..
Now you can say I'm not patriotic
But that would be wrong, I love my country
This is the best place to live in the world
I'm proud as can be when that flag is unfurled
But did we do this -for oil production?
Could this be a case of justice obstruction?
How many lives will have to be lost?
How much devastation ...What is the cost?
The war is over, so let's get going
The fear and hatred just keep growing
The war is over so let's get moving
Precious time is what we're losing..
When I hear on the news that they could have been lyin'
I think of all the troops over there that are still dyin'
Like the young soldier who fell to a sniper
Who came out of nowhere like a sand viper..
He was 22 and he stuck to regulations
He always stood at attention without hesitation
He was gunned down on the campus after buying a drink
It happened so fast it just makes you think
They should have been home long before
This major combat turned into guerrilla war
Charlie company fights with no end in sight
While the government still think's this is right..
The war is over so let's get going
The fear and hatred just keep growing
The war is over so let's get moving
Precious time is what we're losing..
There's a war after the war and this ain't over
After the hot sand comes the sickening odor
of a hospital disinfectant, he'll never walk again
Ambushes and pockets of resistance..
Only make it worse when they think of the distance
Between the life they have now and their former existence
He rips the hospital id band from his wrist
He crumples it up and shakes his angry fist
In frustration he wonders how he'll go on
but when he was needed for his country he answered the call
It's pretty clear some didn't want us here
it's not like we're blazing some new frontier
We should defend our country, that much is true
We did what we came for; now we're through..
The war is over so let's get going
The fear and hatred just keep growing
The war is over so let's get moving
Precious lives are what we're losing..
The war is over there's no more combat
But you still never know when you're gonna get shot at
You roll the dice day after day
Every time you step into the fray
It wears away your ability but hey
You fight cause you're there for the U.S. of A.
Another bomb killed a U.S. soldier today
The war is over so let's get going
The fear and hatred just keep growing
The war is over so let's get moving
Precious lives are what we're losing..
The war is over....
Now the war is over..
But where are these Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Was this a threat or did we go to war
