Behind The Screens

V1

I've been around the block

I've seen whats happening

This is just a game to some of you

Best the rest of us are not laughin

Cause to me my lifes worth more

Than just part of your fraction

When divided represents

The number of us killed in action

Thought I could trust those in charge

Look at me now im laughin

Think its funny how you keep fuckin up

And want me to respect you

Fuck the rank on your collar

That don't mean shit

Even if you got 4 stars on em

You still a bitch

Got out here like slaves

Fresh of the ship

Where you would see us pick your cotton

And get our ass whipped

Cause right now

That's whats happenin and yall aint doin shit

But tyin my hands to my ankles

Telling me stop Michael vick

And could you please explain to me

What is hostile intent

And why you gave me a mouthful of water

And complain when I spit

No I aint mad im a soldier

Ill kill for my country

Im only pissed

Cause you brought me all the way out here just to fuck me

Chorus

Behind the screens in this theatre

It's a whole lot of issues

And it's a lotta balls dropped

That eventually kill us

And for some

That's the reason that yalls familys now miss you

All cause one mofuckers out here

Playin with continues

But this game has no restarts

Soon as death comes to get you

Aint no cheat codes for life here

Just the one god gives you

But they got us out here like naw

Death wont get you

But explain that to the families

Of the soldiers lives yall ruined

V2

Yall cant have a clue of

The fuck yall doin

As many soldiers lives

As your decisions have ruined

Got us out here getting fucked up

That's all we doin

While yall fly around with yalls cape on

Pretendin yall not stupid

But I've seen too many car bombs

We are not allowed to shoot at

Come from the rear of a convoy

Now how the fuck we letm do that

Cause in my mind

Wouldn't no car ride that close

If at all times im authorized

To exercise my bolt

And I've been thru yalls AO

I've seen how yall work it

Tahoe or suburban

For every civilian there workin

But its too much

For an 1114 here am I not worth it

Or is it ok to send me to war

With something that's not workin

And yall rewardin this country

Though the violence aint stopped

Feedin the same fuckers killen us

And that's pissin me off

No I aint come here to be no target

But that's what you make me

And im just wonderin when yall gone let me

Take this weapon off safety.

Chorus

V3

Probably should of kept this to myself

But my conscious wont see it

So I can pull no punches

I can only tell it how I see it

And everything from my perspective

Is definitely warped

And why the fuck we train soldiers

To let politicians fight wars

And if the medias gon be here

Letme see the truth

Don't ask soldiers to pose

And pretend wars cute

And fuckem if they don't understand

The job we are here to do

This is war and people will die

Innocent ones to

And the only reason we are here

Is cause diplomacy failed

And to the day we redeployed

We should have unleashed hell

But yall talk a lot more shit

Than yall would ever commit

Telling me wave and be nice

Shit im trying to grab my dick

And walk this country like im god

Instead you made me a bitch

And now this country think im soft

And they are killin us quick

I know you gotta see this is broke

Then why the fuck it aint fixed

Cause I'd a never left home

If you'd a told me you was cutting my wrists
