The Battle Home
That boy lays so still
He just went down the street for
Bread and a cigarettes pack
For his mom
Then a nation made the call they
Rang the bell of liberty
Calling for us in duty in the name of us all
(oh oh oh oh)
They send us to the fight
Telling us its alright
We're sanctified in our morality
With god on our side
(oh oh oh oh)
They ask us to bleed for this
Send us to die for this
We're falling in these killing fields till the
Polticians say stop
His baby brother
Saw him as the man and
Tried to do the things he saw his big brother do
And when he went to war
He did it on a oath he swore
To make the same sacrifice
If he was ever called to
(oh oh oh oh)
They send us to the fight
Telling us that its alright
We're sanctified in our morality
With god on our side
(oh oh oh oh)
They make us bleed for this
Send us to die for this
Dying in these killing fields till the
Politicians say stop
(oh oh oh oh)
They made a memorial
Gave those brothers a place to rest
Assigned them an honour guard and sang out their names
And as they lay in rest
the kids from a local high school
So impressed by their sacrifice took an oath for themselves
(oh oh oh oh)
They send us to the fight
Telling us that its alright
We're sanctified in our morality
with god on our side
(oh oh oh oh)
They ask us to bleed for this
Send us to kill for this
Killing in these killing fields till the
Politicians say stop
(oh oh oh oh)
And even if we win this war
It seems they ask for more
Mo matter any sacrifice
All saints by our side
(oh oh oh oh)
But it makes me think for a second
That its part of a method
Of training us to fight
When maybe we should stop
