War
How it rattles
You always ask
Monsters behind lines
Everybody is a casualty
Nobody is the same
Fighting over what’s wrong
In the most of the battle
Guns roaring
Helicopters patrolling
Tomorrow’s children shipped over still
Everybody knows
All the ways
Children play war
How fun it is
Only veterans know
The real struggle
Hiding in the bushes
Entire platoons down
Running in the jungle

War
How it rattles
You always ask
Monsters behind lines
Everybody is a casualty
Nobody is the same
Fighting over what’s wrong
In the most of the battle
Guns roaring
Helicopters patrolling
Tomorrow’s children shipped over still
Everybody knows
All the ways
Children play war
How fun it is
Only veterans know
The real struggle
Hiding in the bushes
Entire platoons down
Running in the jungle
