Black and white is much easier to define
Us and them look better on paper
Wave a flag to those without one to wave
I can do that, oh yeah
I can do that
I can do that
One, (two), three, four
This is why we go to war
This is why we go to war
This is why we go to war
Blame is placed on the back of a Humvee
How much baggage can they take?
Here come another thousand to help with that weight
And boy, you gotta carry it a long time
A long time
A long time
One, (two), three, four
This is why we go to war
This is why we go to war
This is why we go to war
If you gotta see it, gotta give me your hands
And if you gotta read it, gotta give me your hands
And if you gotta think it, gotta give me your hands
And if you gotta live it, then give...me...your...
Open up and look inside
Ain't no reason where to hide
Feelin' bad for those who died
It ain't the only reason your mama cried, now
Open up and look inside
Ain't no reason where to hide
Feelin' bad for those who died
It ain't the only reason your mama cried, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
It ain't the only reason that your mama cried
No, no, no, no
No, no, no no no
Oh, no, no, no
It ain't the only reason that your mama cried
Ban the black and white
Lest you get painted yourself
Take the time to go and change your mind
And give the paint to someone else
They say you should never buy the first thing to cross your path
Wear your mind and it will be in time
The greatest service to the everlast
One, (two), three, four
And this is why we go to war
And this is why we go to war
This is why we go to war
