There's war on the TV You watch it as a show It's real though So much more than you know I hope you'll never know I pray you'll never go To follow where I've been To march in sync with sin Booted feet of monsters ****** hands of men They're one and the same Slap the magazine Seat it in the well "Click" Chamber the round Take aim Loose the black dogs Heat the steel barrel The hand held beasts of war Barking in their firery savagery let fly their teeth that they bite to break skin Commanded to fire "FIRE!" Lead filled air Raining artillery A deafening symphony Tat Tat Tat Falls the enemy Tat Tat Tat Falls my brothers Tat Tat Tat Falls your sons Tat Tat Tat Falls your fathers And our souls Falling farther Stuff the memory down Hiding it deep Rocking in sleep Nothing looks the same Through tainted eyes And nothing feels the same Through tainted lives No one sees these tears This hate This fear And No one hears The soldier's cries.

WAR
There's war on the TV You watch it as a show It's real though So much more than you know I hope you'll never know I pray you'll never go To follow where I've been To march in sync with sin Booted feet of monsters ****** hands of men They're one and the same Slap the magazine Seat it in the well "Click" Chamber the round Take aim Loose the black dogs Heat the steel barrel The hand held beasts of war Barking in their firery savagery let fly their teeth that they bite to break skin Commanded to fire "FIRE!" Lead filled air Raining artillery A deafening symphony Tat Tat Tat Falls the enemy Tat Tat Tat Falls my brothers Tat Tat Tat Falls your sons Tat Tat Tat Falls your fathers And our souls Falling farther Stuff the memory down Hiding it deep Rocking in sleep Nothing looks the same Through tainted eyes And nothing feels the same Through tainted lives No one sees these tears This hate This fear And No one hears The soldier's cries.
