There They Go, Off To War?
He came from the mountains in Tennessee
She was from a small poor Wisconsin town
He was from LA living where drive-by shootings would be
She came from the backwater bayou near New Orleans

There they go off to war
There they go off to war

Now they are fighting a war based on lies and greed
The chickenhawks had their PNAC plan all ready to go
They just needed a Pearl Harbor to happen and it did indeed
They let it happen because Halliburton could make a lot of dough

Don’t you know you better wake up now
Don’t you know we’ll make it though this somehow

They were weekend warriors in the National Guard
Loving their country and doing their duty for America
Now they have targets on their backs in battles in Fallujah
Fighting in a quagmire over there in Mesopotamia

Now they lay dead in coffins at Dover AFB
Now they lay dead in coffins at Dover AFB

Why do people believe that this war is just?
So many lives lost and at what cost?

He came from the mountains in Tennessee
She was from a small poor Wisconsin town
He was from LA living where drive-by shootings would be
She came from the backwater bayou near New Orleans
