American Soldier
I ain't dissin just disagreeing
No disrespect though I disconnect
I seem distant cause they seeing my side
Like I don't side with them
Even though I'm on the side with them
I ain't decide with them
So why should I ride with them
Another victim of deceit deceased
I'd rather live then rest in piece
Some bleed
I can't believe I watched them leave as they roll up their sleeves
Some parish as parents grieve
The kids naive to the truth
If you ever need a hero should you look to the troops?
With them gone its kid of hard to regroup
I watch the news like when will they come home?
The years just seem so long and the still carry on
(Hook)
I'm a fight till it's over
Fight till I'm older
I wanna be an American soldier
Soldier, soldier
American soldier
I wanna be an American soldier
Fight till it's over
Fight till I'm older
I wanna be an American soldier
Soldier, soldier
American soldier
I wanna be an American soldier
We march
We fight
We march
We march into the fight
We march
We fight
We march into the fight
(Verse 2)
I was told there would be piece at the end of the road
We bare the weight of the world
Now that's a heavy load
Sometimes war is necessary
The pressure varies
It's scary
Though they still March
Through the desert do they feel parched?
They play their part loosing limbs
And different body parts
I'm reminiscing can't remember what made it start
I think they played on my emotions they know I got a heart
It's hard not to feel when your people are getting killed
It's like they sent us to war but didn't give us a shield
We'll be fighting until there is no blood to spill
I know they'll march on
Lord I wish they'd stand still
(Hook)
I'm a fight till it's over
Fight till I'm older
I wanna be an American soldier
Soldier, soldier
American soldier
I wanna be an American soldier
Fight till it's over
Fight till I'm older
I wanna be an American soldier
Soldier, soldier
American soldier
I wanna be an American soldier
We march
We fight
We march
We march into the fight
We march
We fight
We march into the fight
(Verse 3)
It's left to the citizens
To support the troops they're sending in
They tell us we must win
But how have we won when we're always losing friends?
I can't pretend this issue ain't up under my skin
These politicians keep lying
If I don't buy it then they take it from my taxes
And act as if my freedoms a gift
So now I got to fight for the freedom I get
You better be I'm patriotic like Belichec
Its evident my moneys better spent
In the land of the free
In the home of the brave
If I'm digging a hole I'm just glad it's not a grave
But even through these troubles I'm American made
(Hook)
I'm a fight till it's over
Fight till I'm older
I wanna be an American soldier
Soldier, soldier
American soldier
I wanna be an American soldier
Fight till it's over
Fight till I'm older
I wanna be an American soldier
Soldier, soldier
American soldier
I wanna be an American soldier
We march
We fight
We march
We march into the fight
We march
We fight
We march into the fight
