	Guitar Intro
	Mr. President, you don't know my name,
	But you could find it if you really cared,
	because I pay my taxes and I pay my dues,
	All I ask for in return is the truth,
	Can we just be honest, I've heard that speech is free
	So please believe me that this address is sincere
	I'm no-one special, just a regular guy
	But I just can't keep on wondering why
	That the shells we fired they now kill our own
	And we waste away like shadows in our homes.
	I fell from blue skies, fought through desert storms
	I froze in firefights and killed someone,
	That had a father who loved him just like mine
	Who believed the sacrifice was justified,
	In the name of freedom and in the name of God
	While shifting sands hid all our sins and all the blood
	In the wake of glory, I flew back home
	I watch videos at night in uniform
	Of those towns and cities being torn apart
	By those bombs that fool the people by being smart
	As they flew down chimneys along corridors
	And explode on film and everyone goes awe!
	And you read the stories about how no-one's killed
	And I think about the photo that I kept
	To remind me that it was all for real
	And the ghost that I've become wil be released
	To the sands still shifting that cover all the lies
	About what really happened and who really died
	Was it really worth it?
	Was it worth the cost?
	Did we really take the high ground or have we lost
	All the moral battles did we lose the war
	Mr. President I need to know for sure
	That with all this knowledge all this control
	That we were on the side of right after all
	That we weren't lied to, that we weren't used
	And the country that we fought for still upholds the truth
	Mr. President you don't know my name
	But you could find it if you really cared
	It's on a black wall on a cross of stone
	In the Balkan States, the Gulf and close to home
	On not so foreign islands out on city streets
	Mr. President just tell me why I'm here
	This is my question, this is my life this is my address Mr. President
