Lyrics
"I pledge allegience, to the flag, over closed caskets - they're comin' home in bags."
"Everybody want revenge, but the shit's so sad. The devil's in Afghanistan, but we in Baghdad."
"And every time I turn around I see another mother sad. Another father mad - Bush I hope you're glad!"
"Cuz ya told us the Iraqi people go it bad. But on the streets we got kids wearin' nothin' but rags."
"Liquor stores on every corner, everybody set to blast on each other. Little homie's got no mother - where's Dad?"
"His only father figure is a dealer on the corner trying to make another dolla. So he tries to be a soldier."
"Gonna get up out the ghetto. He at the front lines. Friendly fire took another, now his mother's still cryin'."
"Welookin to our leaders askin' "Who" and "Why", but you stand up on the pulpit steady feedin' us lies!" - Charlie Mizza,2007
