Play Dead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
