Trained killer-
the far outreaching hand
of policy makers oceans away-
now face to face with a
young man just like me
A man with no answers who
only wanted to make the people
who loved him proud
Picked up a weapon
for his nation
but he couldn't pull the trigger
quicker than me
You give me no reason to spill his blood
You give me no reason to kill another man
You give me no reason to follow
Give me a reason to follow, follow you
You said we brothers, sons of liberty,
would bring justice like light to
the dark places in the world - slay tyranny
but we found no monsters here
only R.P.G.'s and cries for peace
and I know what you said,
but I don't believe that they
don't believe the same thing!
You said we have the light
You said we are the proper side
I say you send someone else to die
