We WON'T Be Your Soldiers
I won't be your soldier,
Trained to kill for your lie.
Your war glory stories
Skip the children who die.
She won't be your soldier,
To be raped in the night.
Who'll be watching her back
In this cesspool of fright?
He won't be your soldier,
Outlawed weapons deployed.
The torture continues.
So your contracts are void.
I won't be your soldier,
When the vets coming back,
Can't get needed treatments-
starts their suicide track.
We won't be your soldiers,
As atrocities mount.
We number our losses,
But Iraq has lost count!
