Memorial Day

[Intro: Sample from [?]]

[?]: I've got a question

[?]: I've got a question

[Hook: Akrobatik and Mr. Lif]

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?

We’ve been looking for months and we ain’t found nothing

Please, Mr. President, tell us something

We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing

[Verse 1: Mr. Lif]

How unfortunate.  It wasn't what you thought it, kid.  In basic training

They taught you how to slay men as a starter kit

And you showed up with a gun to load up, hoping a college

Education's waiting, maybe a steady occupation

Now you weighing many lives against yours.  President’s wars

Got you on course with holocaust.  Sergeant is lost

General's boss.  Plans cross, now you in the crosshair

Of a sniper, shaky, scared, shot off your ear

Old, fucked up, down.  One round just hit him and it’s

From some young, yet expendable citizen

He's from the other side of the line, fighting for time

Time to see his kids walk, time to talk with his pa

Time to have a rational thought without the fear of being shot

Damn, his gun jammed.  Now you’ve got to bombard

It's a soldier's suicide slide.  Know you tried hard

To stay alive when you're catching fire from both sides

And we miss you at home.  It’s time the government truly left

You alone, dropped you off and popped one in your dome

Now we've seen it in Iraq and the Congo.  America's

Motto: kill their leader, then we make a stronghold

[Hook: Akrobatik and Mr. Lif] (x2)

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?

We’ve been looking for months and we ain’t found nothing

Please, Mr. President, tell us something

We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing

[Verse 2: Akrobatik]

I never thought of this the day that I enlisted: that I'd be dodging

Bullets, seeking weapons that never even existed

For someone else's personal beef, I’ll risk my health

While the commander-in-chief would never come and fight himself

I feel I'm being tricked even worse that the civilians

Nobody ever told me that we would be killing children

Feeling like the ones that sent me here are the psychotics

But if I say that out loud, I'm "unpatriotic"

But would Donald Rumsfeld back me up with the chrome?

Would Tom Ridge fight or would he stay secure back home?

And would Condoleezza Rice cover grenades in the foxhole?

I'm starting to believe what I was told is not so

What's the reason for the war?  I'm shooting

At these people that I got no animosity for

I wonder if I'm just a pawn in someone else's struggle

Or a hero even though I'm such a small piece of the puzzle

I know that when I finally return where I reside

I'll make up for the months my wife and moms cried

And carry on for all my fallen brothers who died

See, you can't take my pride ‘cause I'm a fucking soldier
