about

with David Chaparro and Emile Ward on drums/percussion

lyrics

there's no luck in a poor family, finished high school but nobody gives a fuck about a GED, fuck about a GED
joined up, went to basic, learned to drive a jeep,
and then the war broke out somewhere overseas, somewhere overseas

and i'm dreaming of a warm bed, somewhere to sleep
and a pillow to rest my head, and no more hungry
a piece of toast with butter, a cup of strong tea
a place to take off my boots and rest my feet

as the war drags on
as the war drags on

and the memories of my son, hugging my knees
and the memories of my sweetheart, waving to me
to die in this pit, with nothing to eat
dreaming of a warm place to curl up and sleep

as the war drags on
as the war drags on

they make bombs now stronger than, stronger than the gods
it's extinction to humanity if even one of them drops
and they keep on making them to protect their greed
because no bomb's ever gonna protect you or me
