I Ain't Marching Anymore

Oh I marched through the jungles out in Vietnam

Trying to push all the Commies to the north

Well it didn't end successful or justify the death toll

And I ain't marching anymore

Oh I marched with Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein

Through the 80s they were on our side of course

Freedom fighters aren't called terrorists when they fight against the Soviets

And I ain't marching anymore

It's always the old to lead us to the war

Always the young to fall

Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun

Tell me is it worth it all?

Oh I marched through the deserts of the Persian Gulf

Protecting business interests in the Desert Storm

While the oil fields were burning I knew that I was learning

That I ain't marching anymore

I was stranded in the streets of Somalia

Back to back with the rest of Delta Force

When I saw the cost of meddling, oh I began backpedalling

And I ain't marching anymore

It's always the old to lead us to the war

Always the young to fall

Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun

Tell me is it worth it all?

Oh I marched through the mountains of Afghanistan

After terrorism crashed upon our shore

I assume it must be safer now cuz it's not in the paper now

And I ain't marching anymore

I'm awaiting redeployment in Iraq again

Even though nobody seems to know what for

The politicians lied and the media complied

And I ain't marching anymore

It's always the old to lead us to the war

Always the young to fall

Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun

Tell me is it worth it all?

Oh I tortured some prisoners in a secret jail

But I guess that made them hate us even more

You call it national defense or gathering intelligence

But I ain't marching anymore

Oh I marched to the sound of the American drum

Because the FBI was listening through the door

Call it peace or call it treason, call it love or call it reason
