As General David Petraeus
Ab
Bbm
testifies on Capitol Hill
Ab
this week about progress in Iraq,
Bbm
his message is clear.
Ab
That nation remains fragile,
Bbm
Ab
and he will not endorse
Bbm
any further withdrawal of troops.
Ab
That means many troops
Bbm
will be facing third or even fourth
Bbm
They were gone for nearly two years,
Bbm
Ab
they had been in Bosnia and Sydney.
Bbm
Modern day warriors,
Ab
we were soldiers of fortune.
Bbm
Rifle powder flowed through
Ab
the air like orchids.

Depleted uranium,

My ex said that when I dreamed
Ab
I spit out coordinates
Bbm
This is for my vets

Who they ex pect to
Ab
work a 9 -5 for a check
Ab
don't ever let us forget about em
this country wouldn't
Bbm
While they rake in their oil revenue
Ab
and they sniff the powder
Bbm
We work their banquets,
booger their rolls
and piss the chowder
Ab
Bbm
But I'll be honest with you,
Ab
war was not intended
Bbm
Cause 9 -11 happened
Ab
5 months after I enlisted
Bbm
I represent the fresh recruit
Ab
18 year old in boot camp
Bbm
I represent the people
Ab
trying to get changed for food stamps

Babies depending on drugs

They still let it get you down,
Bbm
Trained for this, they don't know
Ab

Bbm
You're a soldier,
Bbm
Probably not the most
Ab
sane or well behaved
Bbm
But you're a soldier,

that there's more talent in
Ab
our jails in the military
Bbm
than there is in the whole

was to meet each other
Bbm
But we never had the
Ab
resources to be discovered
Bbm
We wait to eat to yes
Ab
Bbm
until we all come back from Iraq with PTS
Ab
Bbm
So most of us just stay in and PCS
Ab
a lot of soldiers like white
Bbm
Ab
cuz it'll be the test. I
Bbm
Clean my rifle daily
Ab
and I'm pre pared for attack
Bbm
I fell hook line and sinker
Ab
for the snare in the trap if you
Bbm
only knew the baggage
