Bobby had an eagle and a flag 
tattooed on his arm
Red white and blue to the bone when 
he landed in Kandahar
Left behind a pretty young wife and 
a baby girl
A stack of overdue bills and went 
off to save the world
Been a year now and he's still there
Chasin' ghosts in the thin dry air
Meanwhile back at home the finance 
company took his car
Just another poor boy off to fight a
 rich man's war


Bride:
Bm           G
When will we ever learn
D            A
When will we ever see
Bm              G
We stand up and take our turn
D              A
And tellin' ourselves we're free


Ali was the second son of a second 
son
Grew up in Gaza throwing bottles and
 rocks when the tanks would come
Ain't nothin' else to do around here
 just a game children play
Somethin' 'bout livin' in fear all 
your life makes you hard that way
He answered when he got the call
Wrapped himself in death and praised
 Allah
A fat man in a new Mercedes drove 
him to the door
Just another poor boy off to fight a
 rich man's war
