[Verse 1] Heres my homie trying to be patriotic Wanna fight for Uncle Sam, so he dropped out of college Looking back at his friends, like youre not gonna follow? Then youre not a real American, your heart is all hollow He enlisted, and in a couple of months was trained Jumped up on a plane with what Uncle pumped in his brain Dehumanize the enemy, accept youre there to set them free Thats an oxymoron B, and thats why theyre not sending me [Split Verse] So my homies at his post, his eyes are never closed He needs to recognize whats coming up this pebble road This one time he sees a van that he doesnt know And feels this is a place that van doesnt need to go So as they get closer, his gun is out his holster Hes doing what hes told to, spewing like a cobra The van is full of women, children, civilians But that doesnt stop his trigger finger from killing He spit his whole clip, tore the van a new ceiling And then yells out to see if anyones still living And out comes a mom, shaken cause her son Was killed in front of her eyes, so was her husband Kill Em all [hook] Kill Em Fucking kill em Kill em already Kill em Fucking kill em Fucking kill em Kill em already Kill em Fucking kill em Fucking kill em Kill em already Kill em Fucking kill em Fucking kill em Kill em already Kill em [Verse 2] In his last letter home, he told her it was close To the time hed be getting back, but when he didnt know On extended stay, baby daughter on the way And they, were supposed to have been married last May He was called on by his country, put him in a Humvee Go to the Middle East, police the tired, poor, and hungry On his last patrol he saw something in the road But couldnt stop in time before that something would explode A homemade device, made to take a life Made by a man who already lost his son and wife Made by a man whose homeland had payed the price Of an occupation in the name of the stars and stripes We hear it every night, read it every morning More terrorists to fight, the war must keep going When so easy we forget, the true cause and effect What do you tell a daughter Who lost a dad that she never met? Kill Em all! [Hook] [Verse 3] To the troops that are dying for patriotism Understand youre being used, and raped by the system Supposedly the heroes, but they make you the victim Strip you of your humanity, and force you to Kill Em In the religion of capitalism Civilian life cant compare to the stacks of a million Bucks contracted to build back up a village That was destroyed by Haliburtons thousand pound Missiles [Split Verse] If only life were a string, of simple yes and no Just good vs. evil, no middle of the road No riddles to decode, maybe then wed be free From constraints used to shape and polarize our beliefs But truth is convoluted, and propagandas thick Find yourself at a crossfire when public opinion splits Find yourself at a loss for any description that fits Find yourself with a heart torn, and ripped into tiny bits
kill, em, fucking, van, already
