A Wall

The troops never knew this war was coming

Walking into a wall of fire, cans of gasoline in their hands

The explosion is only a trigger pull away.

With every step they can't help but pray faster.

The heat starts to burn their faces but they can't stop marching.

Can't stop killing. Can't stop shooting. Can't stop

because the flag told them not to.

 

What were you doing in the big desert?

Looking for something you couldn't find at home?

 

Didn't they promise you golden streets?

The American dream? A safe home from your son?

This is home now, without a father

and mother who can't be bothered.

from 12 to 2 and 4 to 6. She is glued to the televesion.

Reruns are on today. I guess your son can eat.

 

An alarm clock shot at 5 miles per second.

Out of the enemy's homemade RPG.

Apparently Johnson and Smith didnt get the message.

They aren't waking up.
