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

My ex said that when I dreamed
Db
I spit out coordinates
Ebm
This is for my vets
Db

Ebm
Who they ex pect to
Db
work a 9 -5 for a check
Db
don't ever let us forget about em
this country wouldn't
Ebm
While they rake in their oil revenue
Db
and they sniff the powder
Ebm
We work their banquets,
booger their rolls
and piss the chowder
Db
Ebm
But I'll be honest with you,
Db
war was not intended
Ebm
Cause 9 -11 happened
Db
5 months after I enlisted
Ebm
I represent the fresh recruit
Db
18 year old in boot camp
Ebm
I represent the people
Db
trying to get changed for food stamps
Ebm
I represent for system children
Ebm
Babies depending on drugs
Db
instead of pacifiers
Ebm
They still let it get you down,
Ebm
Trained for this, they don't know
Db

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

Ebm
The jobs they won't,

Db
We will never forget
Ebm
that there's more talent in
Db
our jails in the military
Ebm
than there is in the whole
Ebm
But most of us all it would have took
Db
was to meet each other
Ebm
But we never had the
Db
resources to be discovered
Ebm
We wait to eat to yes
Db
Ebm
until we all come back from Iraq with PTS
Db
Ebm
So most of us just stay in and PCS
Db
a lot of soldiers like white
Ebm
Db
cuz it'll be the test. I
Ebm
Clean my rifle daily
Db
and I'm pre pared for attack
Ebm
I fell hook line and sinker
Db
for the snare in the trap if you
Ebm
only knew the baggage
Db
I brought back from Iraq,
Ebm
you would un derstand
Ebm
This is not about me, this is about we
Us doing basic training,
