what fools

what fools they be
they can't see
it's a war you can't win

i know some will disagree
but as for me
i see what i see

Korea
Viet Nam
the "war" on drugs
the " Cold War"
Star War's
God Damn

it's not that i ain't
a patriot
a texican i be
but i see
what can't be

you can't win a war
when you don't know
who the enemy be
they won't show
their true colors
i don't blame 'em
i'd do the same

i'd fight from the left
i'd fight from the right
i'd fight you
day & night

it's a war we are in
a war we can't win
so why did we begin?

this war will never end!

you can say
they be fanatics
addicts
to what they believe
but believe me
it's a war we can't win.
they be who they be.

so why are we there
really who care
is it the oil
or is it the soil

why is so much blood shed
why are person's losin' ther head
why are so many dead?

Hey, George Bush
the 2 or the 3
here me

get outta' there
you can't win
you shouldn't a begin'
a war you can't win

would you really do it agin?

well, i got a vote
so take note
i writ what i wrote
that be it.
shit

had a friend call me today
said his son had passed away
killed
in the line of duty
ain't that a beauty
just doin' his duty

bullshit.

that be it.

why fight a war
you can't win?

hey George...
would you do it agin?

just my opinion.

Well put. Here in the UK we have been getting the same message across to Blair but I think the truth is the real war is happening inside America, between the interests that want to rule the world and those that want to be part of it.
This was great, cheers.
