Private Manning standing in a court room Pleading guilty; he shouldn't have to Truth be told, he should be floating down parade routes But - the truth WAS told, and what good did that do? If it was you, You might wish you'd been born a liar A coward His conscience barked as he watched our Apache Cowboy-kill civilian Iraqis Their laughter rolled like tanks over bodies He thought: "What if everyone could see what I see?" If it was you, You might wish you'd been born a liar A coward 9 months in a hole 3 years in a cage For having a soul The American way If it was you, You might wish you'd been born a liar A coward And not a hero |
