Paroles de Halliburton Boardroom Massacre
I joined the army when high school was through I didn't know what else to doThought I'd take care of that traveling jones
Then maybe take out some student loans
They sent me away to the land of the dead
Where I didn't know a word that they said
I got shot at a lot, I was nearly toast But it's the ones that I killed that hurts the most
Most of the time I didn't know what was going on
The rest of the time I knew there was something going wrong
Every reason we were there turned out to be a lie
I thought of that each time I saw another person die
I was supposed to stay for a year, they kept me for four
By the time I got back home no one knew me anymore
Of the man I once was there didn't seem to be a trace
And when I looked me in the mirror I didn't recognize my face
I wasn't home too long before the time that I fell ill It was like the air was thick as mud and I ached enough to kill
I didn't know I'd been fighting in a nuclear war DU was in my blood and I was knocking on death's door
I can't tell you how it felt to be betrayed at every turn Like the earth was spinning backwards, like my heart began to burn Like I had to do something while I still had the strength to stand
While I still could run with a machine gun in my hand I thought of Halliburton and the military brass And the things they get away with all for their ruling class But I'm not a pawn and I can't just let it be And if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna take some of them fuckers with me
I'll spare you the details, I did what I had to do
There's a boardroom blown to hell and soon I will be, too
You can say I lost it, you can say that I'm insane But may no one ever say that my death was in vain
I joined the army when high school was through I didn't know what else to do
The rest of the time I knew there was something going wrong
Every reason we were there turned out to be a lie
I thought of that each time I saw another person die
I was supposed to stay for a year, they kept me for four
By the time I got back home no one knew me anymore
Of the man I once was there didn't seem to be a trace
And when I looked me in the mirror I didn't recognize my face
I wasn't home too long before the time that I fell ill It was like the air was thick as mud and I ached enough to kill
I didn't know I'd been fighting in a nuclear war DU was in my blood and I was knocking on death's door
I can't tell you how it felt to be betrayed at every turn Like the earth was spinning backwards, like my heart began to burn Like I had to do something while I still had the strength to stand
While I still could run with a machine gun in my hand I thought of Halliburton and the military brass And the things they get away with all for their ruling class But I'm not a pawn and I can't just let it be And if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna take some of them fuckers with me
I'll spare you the details, I did what I had to do
There's a boardroom blown to hell and soon I will be, too
You can say I lost it, you can say that I'm insane But may no one ever say that my death was in vain
I joined the army when high school was through I didn't know what else to do
