You should have gone to Canada |
|
You could have run away |
|
But you couldn't shame your parents |
|
You say you had to stay |
|
So you get yourself drafted |
|
So you went ahead and went |
|
And you thought you'd be a hero |
|
And not a dissident |
|
War Crime... War Crime |
|
You used to be a good boy |
|
You used to be the best |
|
Then you tried the drug |
|
Ad you dreamt about the west |
|
Everyone's your enemy |
|
Everyone's your friend |
|
Your world was upside down |
|
To kill was not to sin |
|
So you shot the wrong woman |
|
Or you shot the wrong kid |
|
Now Sam will make you regret |
|
That you ever did |
|
But you had no choice |
|
You were told what to do |
|
Orders from the helicopter crew |
|
War Crime... War Crime |
|
Back home they wanted blood |
|
For the atrocities |
|
For the innocent who died |
|
On they're TVs |
|
They demanded justice |
|
They demanded you |
|
They wanted to watch you hang |
|
Till you turned blue |
|
War Crime... War Crime |
|
And the president said that that's OK |
|
Because it takes they're attention away |
|
From the real crime, the war |
|
There are no war crimes |
|
War is the crime |
