Lyrics
We Should Be Thinking
We?re bagging our hero?s Their mothers cry on the floor
Were bringing them back from a long distance war
They?re dieing for freedom Their killing for piece
If wars the answer then where is the piece
We should be thinking about what we?re teaching
All of these people we think we?re defeating
The congressmen and senators say this war is just
But they?re not sending their children They?re sending us
To fight for there freedom No price is too high
When the rich give the orders the Poor pay the price
We should be thinking about what our countries doing
And make our votes count before the whole thing is ruined
New York the towers we can never forget
We all saw it on TV the terrorist threat
We can?t close the borders profiling not fair
The politicians don?t get it or they just don?t care
We should be thinking about who?s making these decisions
And how in hell were ever going to forgive them
Lets bring our troops home they?ve made us all proud
But the government can?t seem to figure out how
They say will bring them home but No body knows when
When you start a war you should plan for the end.
We should be thinking about the war that?s not ending
And let politicians know how we feel before we send them packing
