I Want Them Back From Iraq

Years of same old, same old
Told what we're doing
(not asked, not queried,
not given a voice)
Lies full of poison,
setting us back
making us vulnerable
Left with no choice
Pitting us one against the other
with American Idol
to keep us happy
Is that our voice?
That's our voice?!
We're smarter than that
We know
we grow
and we can get it back
My nephew in Iraq
is only 5' and a few inches tall
But he knows how to eat a square meal
in four minutes flat
in Iraq
He knows how to kill and keep his gun clean
He's now a killing machine
The boy who caught fish up in Maine
The boy who's in love with his girl
The boy who is there with his brothers
his sisters, our wives and our husbands
and lovers
Half-way across the world
No purpose, no meaning
but their guns, they need cleaning
And oil's why they live in Iraq?
I want them back
