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

I represent the people
C
trying to get changed for food stamps

Dm
But we never had the
C
resources to be discovered
Dm
We wait to eat to yes
C
Dm
until we all come back from Iraq with PTS
C
Dm
So most of us just stay in and PCS
C
a lot of soldiers like white
Dm
C
cuz it'll be the test. I
Dm
Clean my rifle daily
C
and I'm prepared for attack
Dm
I fell hook line and sinker
C
for the snare in the trap if you
Dm
only knew the baggage
C
I brought back from Iraq,
Dm
you would un derstand
Dm
This is not about me, this is about we

Dm
C
Us at the rifle range, us doing P .T.
