the list

"This List"

Look at everyone
There are new oneâ??s being listed close to telling
everyone take a look
look at the lives took so far

this guy had a son
a newborn that he never got to hold onto
hold everything I hate this sight
weâ??re not the ones that went to fight this war

so go on give in and get â??em out
spin it anyway you want to we know what youâ??re all about
saving lives instead of young face
there might be one small saving grace
if only someone kept us safe from you!

this oneâ??s 21
his dad said the core was all he ever dreamed of
His marine core dreams well they came true
But he didnâ??t get to be 22
This list

It goes on and on and on
There are new oneâ??s being listed close to telling now
I wished everyday another pose
Pray to god and hope weâ??re almost through with this

so go on give in and get â??em out
spin it anyway you want to we know what youâ??re all about
saving lives instead of young face
there might be one small saving grace
if only someone kept us safe from you!

Mission accomplished
cut them loose
What is will be
whatâ??s done is done
Youâ??ve fooled us all and fooled no-one
Will it be worth it, was it fun?

Weep, rip, we hope, we cope, oh well
I hope youâ??re happy right in hell

so go on give in and get â??em out
spin it anyway you want to we know what youâ??re all about
saving lives instead of young face
there might be one small saving grace
if only someone kept us safe from you!

go on give in and get â??em out
