Lyrics to "Take Me Home"
by Geoffrey Rutledge :cry:

I was sent to this far away land
Half a boy, half a man.
To fight a war we still don't understand
That took the life of many a man.

Chorus:
Take me home.
My heart is yearning.
To go home and blow out the candle that's burning
in the window and
Tell my mother not to worry
I am safe now
In his holy arms.

We returned from the mess that they made.
No confetti, and no parades.
And we returned to take the blame.
All that's left is a wall of names.

(Chorus)

So put my name on that granite wall.
Remember me when your country calls.
Remember those you leave behind.
Was there a war that saved mankind.

(Chorus)


Lyrics to "Support the Troops"
by Country Joe McDonald

Beat the drum, wave the flag
for those who won't be coming back.
Numbers risin', build another wall
for those who answered the country's call.

Support the troops.
Support the troops.

Gold Star Mothers, Gold Star Dads
left with nothing but a folded flag.
Gold Star Brothers, sisters, too.
Feel their pain, it might be you

Support the troops.
Support the troops.

Chickenhawk draft-dodgin' son of a Bush
Look at all the damage you did.
American war in the holy land
Blood for oil...
Not in my name.

Whoa,not in my name.
Whoa,not in my name.

Someday soon, I don't know when,
We'll see the wounded women and men.
Lining the walls of American streets,
Hands out, beggin' for something to eat.

Support the troops.
Support the troops.

Forgotten heros from a forgotten war,
wonderin' what were we fightin' for?
World War III around the bend,
That's what we get with the George Bush plan.

Support the troops.
Support the troops.

Chickenhawk draft-dodgin' son of a Bush
Look at all the damage you did.
American war in the holy land
Blood for oil...
Not in my name.

Whoa,not in my name.
American shame.
Whoa,not in my name.
American shame.
Whoa,not in my name.

So many dead for that bastard's stinking pile of bullshit. May george w bush rot in hell. MFer.

really pulls out the tears on that one!
