    Tell me what I'm supposed to think
    When the bullets start to pour
    Lie about some greater good
    When you ship me off to war
    Thousand dead on either side
    Is there no one keeping score?
    I just wanna make it home
    When you ship me off to war

    We at war we don't know what for
    They made up a reason behind closed doors
    At the end of the season we leave
    Make an enemy bleed, hit the seashore with the C4
    We don't record, we just reload
    If you need more it's a cheat code with unlimited rounds
    When you hear the sound start hitting the ground
    It's time to go make America proud
    But This ain't as fun as what they claim it be
    This ain't a video game you see
    I shot the kid same age as me
    'Cause he ain't from the same place as me
    Now the bloodstain stays with me
    I'm homesick and I miss my mama
    Can't sleep, I'm living with this trauma
    I wanna just believe the dogma
    But I can't take it much longer

    Tell me what I'm supposed to think
    When the bullets start to pour
    Lie about some greater good
    When you ship me off to war
    Thousand dead on either side
    Is there no one keeping score?
    I just wanna make it home
    When you ship me off to war
    (When you ship me off to war)

    Yeah
    Watch me spend these billions
    Bombing these civilians
    Making enemies out of children
    Am I the good guy? Am I the villain?
    I go back and forth, chameleon
    My partner next to me
    He was twenty-three
    When he went out to check the scene
    Then he stepped on an IED
    Goddamn
    Teflon, got a bulletproof vest on
    But I still wanna hide and flee
    Something died inside
    When I wondered why they caught him and not me
    This shit ain't always what it seem
    When they changing the regime
    Better wake me from this crazy dream
    Living in the war machine

    Ship me off to war

    Joined Uncle Sam as soon as I turned eighteen (oh, no no no)
    Try to wash my hands, never gonna get them clean (oh, no no no)
    Follow my command, do or die, ain't no in between (oh, no no no)
    Try to wash my hands never gonna get them clean

    PTSD, PTSD
    I might
    I might
    Fuck around and start World War III
