Lying there writhing
Drenched in blood and shit
A 20-year-old soldier
Can't make sense of it

T'was supposed to be a part-time job
Some cash for school
Never figured Bush and Cheney
Would break all the rules

Chorus 1:

But no need to dismay
‘Cause Bush's cronies made some money today
What's a few lives to lose
So Halliburton's profits soar to the moon

Verse 2:

Neither Bush nor Cheney
Ever went to war
Their daddies pulled some strings
For those draft-dodging whores

But now they have no problem
Sending kids to die
Killing off U.S. soldiers
For a fucking lie

Dying in the sand
Under a burning sun
That Marine knows he'll never
Get to 21

All his future plans
Sacrificed for this war
And he doesn't understand
What he's dying for

Chorus 2:

But no need to dismay
‘Cause Bush's pals control the oil today
It's only poor kids who'll bleed
They're only cattle for the rich folk to lead
