lyrics

That boy lays so still he
Just went down the street
For bread and a cigarette pack
For his mom
Then a nation made the call they
Rang the bell of liberty
Calling for us in duty
In the name of us all

They send us to fight, yeah
Telling us that it's alright
We're sanctified in our morality
With god on our side
They ask us to bleed for this and
Send us to die for this
We're falling in these killing fields
Till the politicians say stop

His baby brother
Saw him as the man
And tried to do the things he saw
His big brother do
And when he went to war he
Did it on an oath he swore
To make the same sacrifice
If he was ever called to

They send us to the fight, yeah
Telling us that it's alright
We're sanctified in our morality
With god on our side
They nake us bleed for this and
Send us to die for this
We're dying in these killing fields
Till the politicians say stop

They made a memorial
They gave his brothers a place to rest and
Assinged them an honor guard and
Sang out their names
And as they laid in rest
The kids from a local high school
Were so impressed by their sacrifice
They took an oath for themselves

They send us to the fight, yeah
Telling us that it's alright
We're sanctified in our morality
With god on our side
They ask us to bleed for this and
Send us to kill for this
We're killing in these killing fields
Till the politicians say stop
And even if we win this war
It seems they always ask more
No matter any sacrifice
All saints by our side
But it makes me think for a second that
Its just part of a method
Of training us to fight
When maybe we should stop
