lyrics

I saw a man today who lived a normal life.
Had himself a job and car and just married his wife.
You know, he was proud of where he had gone along his path,
but he got a phone call late one night while giving his son a bath.
Uncle Sam had beckoned him to go and fight at war,
so he grabbed his bags and kissed his wife then headed for the door.

A lonely siren bellowed in the darkened, desert sand
All his regiment suited up with their rifles close at hand.
He could have stayed behind and worked on his dreams
but he had an oath to fulfill for his country and his team.
Thy knew it was not their fight, but they had to carry on,
walkin' down that dusty road, nobody saw the bomb...


I saw a man today with no ears on his face
where his left leg once stood, a pole now takes its place.
Now he has two kids and his life has been made rough,
is this story what it takes for us to say enough.
Whats it going to take, for you to say "NO MORE"?
-and this song aint anti-patriotism, this song is anti-war.
