Verse 1
Bm
As General David Petraeus
A
Bm
testifies on Capitol Hill
A
this week about progress in Iraq,
Bm
his message is clear.
A
That nation remains fragile,
Bm
A
and he will not endorse
Bm
any further withdrawal of troops.
Bm
will be facing third or even fourth
Bm
They were gone for nearly two years,
Bm
A
they had been in Bosnia and Sydney.
Bm
Modern day warriors,
A
we were soldiers of fortune.
Bm
Rifle powder flowed through
Bm
My ex said that when I dreamed
A
work a 9 -5 for a check
A
don't ever let us forget about em
this country wouldn't
Bm
While they rake in their oil revenue
A
and they sniff the powder
Bm
We work their banquets,
booger their rolls
and piss the chowder
A
Bm
But I'll be honest with you,
Bm
Cause 9 -11 happened
A
5 months after I enlisted
Bm
I represent the fresh recruit
A
18 year old in boot camp
Bm
I represent the people
A
trying to get changed for food stamps
Bm
I represent for system children
Bm
Babies depending on drugs
Bm
They still let it get you down,
Bm
Trained for this, they don't know
A

Cause you're a soldier,
A
Bm
for every POW and MIA
Bm
that there's more talent in
A
our jails in the military
Bm
than there is in the whole
Bm
But most of us all it would have took
Bm
But we never had the
A
resources to be discovered
Bm
We wait to eat to yes
A
Bm
until we all come back from Iraq with PTS
A
Bm
So most of us just stay in and PCS
A
a lot of soldiers like white
Bm
A
cuz it'll be the test. I
Bm
Clean my rifle daily
A
and I'm prepared for attack
Bm
I fell hook line and sinker
A
for the snare in the trap if you
Bm
only knew the baggage
A
I brought back from Iraq,
Bm
you would un derstand
Bm
This is not about me, this is about we
Us doing basic training,
Bm
A
Us at the rifle range, us doing P .T.
Bm
Trained to shoot enemies
A
before enemies shoot me
