Preemptive attack as a matter of fact
Let no one escape, leave nothing intact
Eye for the eye they might try to scratch
They won't stand a chance
There'll be no rematch
Just keep on going, drive over them
I saw a boy throw a stone, I think
Drive over them
Rip apart the walls
Blast away all running civilians
Then try to cover it up, but it can't be done
'Cause everything is painted in red
Yeah - starting to show
All the things you don't want us to know
Talking head
Yeah - shaking us so
As all we can do is play dead
Still, lie still
And try not to breathe
Scorched the earth, the scars run deep
An infected tattoo, an oasis of blood
Do you expect us to look the other way
When nothing is more obvious
And everything is painted in red
Yeah - starting to show
All the things you don't want us to know
Talking head
Yeah - shaking us so
As all we can do is play
There, one o'clock
Haven't seen anything since then
Just fuckin', once you get on 'em just open up
All right, firing
Let me know when you've got them
Let's shoot
Light them all up
Keep shootin'
Keep shootin'
Roger
Got 'em
Oh. Sorry what was going on?
God damn it, Kyle
All right, haha, I hit 'em
Got a bunch of bodies layin' there
Oh yeah, look at those dead bastards
All right, we got about uh eight individuals
There's one guy moving down there but he's uh
He's wounded
Come on buddy
All you gotta do is pick up a weapon
Come on, let us shoot!
Come on
Clear
Clear
Nice
Nice
Good shootin'
Thank you
Silence - nothing but silence here
Tears fertilizing the sand
Still nothing is growing
Silence
And we sleep under stars with the roar
Still fresh in our memory
Remembering a time
When everything was fine
There was approximately four to five individuals
In the vehicle moving bodies
Looks like a kid. Over
I got a wounded girl, we need to take
Her to Rustamiyah
Could you tell the battalion that two civilian
Children casualities are coming back to
Rustamiyah in the Bradley. Over
I've got uh eleven Iraqi KIA's, one small child
Wounded. Over
Roger. Ah damn
Well
Oh well
Well it's their fault for bringing their
Kids to a battle
Strike them hard, backstabbing allie
Weaken and starve them
With unreasonable sanctions
Then try to sell that with limited resources
They've developed new weapons
Of mass destruction
Trojan horse of Kuwait worked out well
Sent Glaspie to smile and Nayirah to cry
Do you expect us to look the other way
No nothing is more obvious
Yes everything is painted in red
Yeah - starting to show
All the things you don't want us to know
Talking head
Yeah - shaking us so
As all we can do is play dead
I think he just drove over a body
Did he?
Yeah
Maybe it was a visual illusion, but it looked like it
Well they're dead, so
We're shootin' some more
Hey, you shoot, I'll talk
Engaging with Hellfire
You're clear
All right firing
We're not even going to watch this fuckin' shit?
Target it
And firing
There it goes, look at that bitch go!
Paloosh!
Roger. Building destroyed. Engaged with three
Hellfire missiles
Nice missile
Did it look good?
Sweet
