Lyrics

I put my heart out on the table
Though my love is on the floor
Time has come for standing up
Though I?m not sure what I?m standing for

So pack my bags mama
I?m shipping out today
It?s big time?s here-- please go ahead and pray
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

We?re waking up to the drums of war,
I can hear them thumpin
Mushroom clouds, Homeland alert?
From burning towers I see men jumping

Tell the boys say sweet goodbyes to
daughters, girlfriends, moms
The time has come for sand and
sweat, mohammed god and suicide bombs

Reasons change, but wars they don?t
Wish it all would stop but I know it wont

The world is changing and momma I?m scared
So I?ll write you a letter and say a quick prayer

paranioia plants the seed
A conspiracy is all they need
But it?s simple ageless, quite contagious greed

CHORUS
Hey
We?re fighting
Why
I don?t know
Hey
We?re fighting
So mama it?s off to war we go

Jesus, somebody get me out of this place
Sick of promises and saving face

Sell us that American dream
But the flag is falling apart at the seams

they don?t hear the bombs, people dying
Don?t see the women and children left crying

Still this is my job and I?m gonna do it
But something?s not right and somebody blew it

gotta keep fighting for my friends who have died
But I?m not even sure how I?m gonna survive

Gunshots ring out like a metronome
In a body bag is how I?m coming home

So bury the dead and sing their song
keeping quiet now is just as wrong
The cant stop change when it?s millions strong
