Description
This song was written to reflect friends who have fought in wars on foreign soils and those who fight there own daily wars. It isn't a pro war or anti war anthem. It is meant to explain my feelings of inadequacy as a competitor in life. This song is dedicated to John Bud Lewis Desert Storm Vet and dear friend
Lyrics
Met a man he told me, all the hurt he sold me Only tried to show me but he couldn’t even hold me Told me bout the desert wished he could not remember The storms still inside of him He told me what he saw, a child and his mama I don’t wanna run no more I’ve given up the fight There are no winners in war Just monuments to mark our crimes Who is the enemy, is it you is it me Bombs over Baghdad don’t you feel sad They tell you not to worry but worrying is all you have So listen to the news another tool they use To hide all their lies and to hide their abuse Lets talk about them drugs their pumpin into us Butterfly spread your wings and Say goodbye to me Worms with cardboard wings tell me what to think They ruin it for you and they ruin it for me Fear is what they preach hate is what they teach Through the rockets red glare I can’t tell Is our flag still their I don’t wanna run no more I’ve given up the fight There are no winners in war Just monuments to my God Christ Who is the enemy? You is the enemy
