    "Righteous killing in the name of freedom

    We've been down that sorry road before

    They let us hang around a little longer than they should have

    And it's too late to fool us anymore

    We've seen the ones who killed the ones with vision

    Cold-blooded murder right before your eyes

    Today they hold the power and the money and the guns

    It's getting hard to listen to their lies.

    And I've just got to wonder what my Daddy would've done

    If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around

    I've got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth

    And stand your ground

    DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN

    Bombing Baghdad back into the stone age

    Round the clock, nonstop for forty days

    Killed 'em in their homes and on their highways

    Then after a decade of crippling sanctions

    We decided we go back in there and do it all over again

    Fighting terrorism

    Chorus"

    Thanks Kris.

    Man, that song certainly describes the life and times of today. The more things change, the more they stay the same!!

        Powerful. Truth tends to be, doesn't it.

                Hey BK this is an awesome submission. (Thought you handled yourself well on a couple of the threads.)

                Never heard the song before but think it's an appropriate anthem of sorts.

                  It is getting harder to not let the bastards get ME down..

                  Good one Bkumm.

                  I pray for our troops to come home ...everynight.

                  The bastards lied to get them over to Iraq.

                  I hope that they, as in "the ones who sent them to war" have a slow painful death.

                  Thank you.
