[00:00.00] Memorial Day - The Perceptionists
[00:11.18] I've got a question
[00:16.54] I've got a question
[00:22.86] Where are the weapons of mass destruction
[00:25.40] We been lookin' for months and we ain't found nothin'
[00:28.40] Please Mr President tell us something
[00:30.97] We knew from the beginning that your a** was bluffing
[00:33.73] How unfortunate it wasn't what you thought it kid in basic training
[00:36.85] They taught you how to slay man as a start-up kit
[00:39.60] And you showed up with a gun to load up
[00:42.22] Hopin' a college education's waitin' maybe a steady occupation
[00:44.71] Now you're weighing many lives against yours
[00:46.46] President orders got you on course with holocaust Sargent is lost
[00:50.19] General's boss plans cross now you in the crosshair
[00:53.56] Of a sniper's shaky scared shot of your ear
[00:56.18] All f**ked up now one round just hit him in his from some young yet expendable citizen
[01:01.42] He's from the other side of the line fightin' for time
[01:04.79] Time to see his kids walk time to talk with his pops
[01:07.47] Time to have a rational thought without the thought of bein' shot
[01:10.28] (Damn) his gun jammed now you gotta bombart
[01:13.02] It's a soldier's suicide slide - know you tried hard to stay alive
[01:15.96] When you're catching fire from both sides
[01:18.67] And we miss you at home its time the government truly left you alone
[01:21.85] Dropped you off and popped one in your dome
[01:23.79] Now we've seen it in Iraq and the Congo - America's motto
[01:26.65] Kill their leader then we build a stronghold
[01:29.97] Where are the weapons of mass destruction
[01:32.71] We been lookin' for months and we ain't found nothin'
[01:35.58] Please Mr President tell us something
[01:38.28] We knew from the beginning that your a** was bluffin
[01:44.87] I never thought of this the day that I enlisted
[01:55.16] That I'd be dodging bullets seekin weapons that never even existed
[01:58.47] For someone else's personal beef I risk myself
[02:00.73] While the Commander-in-Chief would never come to fight himself
[02:02.66] I feel I'm bein' tricked even worse that the civilians
[02:06.47] Nobody ever told me that we would be killin' children
[02:08.64] Feelin like the ones that sent me here are the psychotics
[02:12.08] But if I say that out loud -- I'm unpatriotic
[02:14.95] But would Donald Rumsfeld back me up with the chrome
[02:17.57] Would Tom Ridge fight or would he stay secure back home
[02:20.44] And would Condoleeza Rice cover grenades in a fox hole
[02:23.25] I'm startin to believe what I was told is not so
[02:26.86] What's the reason for the war
[02:28.37] I'm shootin at these people that I got not animosity for
[02:30.87] I wonder if I'm just a pawn in someone else's struggle
[02:34.41] Or a here even though I'm just a small piece of the puzzle
[02:37.60] I know that when I finally return where I reside
[02:40.16] I'll make up for the months my wife and moms cried
[02:42.90] And carry on for all my fallen brothers that died
[02:45.59] But you can't take my pride -- cuz I'm a f**kin' SOLDIER
[02:48.27] Where are the weapons of mass destruction
[02:51.33] We been lookin' for months and we ain't found nothin'
[02:54.14] Please Mr President tell us something
[02:56.94] We knew from the beginning that your a** was bluffing
[02:59.76] Where are the weapons of mass destruction
[03:02.56] We been lookin' for months and we ain't found nothin'
[03:05.44] Please Mr President tell us something
[03:08.12] We knew from the beginning that your a** was bluffing
