Lyrics
What will you do when they call for you
and inform you your son has died
would you want to know why he would go
then you find out it's all been a lie
Maybe by letter or maybe by phone
the information keeps you awake at night
in truth there's honor in lies there's scorn
how much longer does a mother have to cry
do we want to know what he died for
well that's just like Cindy's War
You would think after all these wars
they would learn to leave them alone
we don't expect to be turned away
by the leaders right here at home
do we want to know what he died for
well that's just like Cindy's War
yea that's just like Cindy's War
