DmDm
Tell me what I'm supposed to think

DmDm
We at war, we don't know what for

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

A minorAm I the good guy? A minorAm I the villain?
DmDm
I go back and forth, chameleon
A minorAm DmDm
My partner next to me, he was twenty-three
When he went out to check the scene
A minorAm
Then he stepped on an IED, goddamn

Teflon, got a bulletproof vest on
But I still wanna hide and flee
DmDm
Something died inside when I wondered
A minorAm
Why they caught him and not me

Better wake me from this crazy dream
