Shock and Awe |
| Back in the days of shock and awe |
| We came to liberate them all |
| History was the cruel judge of overconfidence |
| Back in the days of shock and awe |
| Back in the days of «mission accomplished» |
| Our chief was landing on the deck |
| The sun was setting on a golden photo op Back in the days of «mission accomplished» |
| Thousands of bodies in the ground |
| Brought home in boxes to a trumpet’s sound |
| No one sees them coming home that way |
| Thousands buried in the ground |
| Thousands of children scarred for life |
| Millions of tears for a soldier’s wife |
| Both sides are losing now |
| Heaven takes them in Thousands of children scarred for life |
| We had a chance to change our mind |
| But somehow wisdom was hard to find |
| We went with what we knew and now we can’t go back |
| But we had a chance to change our mind. |
