Back in the days of shock and awe
We came to liberate them all
History was the [bad word] judge of overconfidence
Back in the days of shock and awe

Back in the days of "mission [bad word] quot;
Our chief was landing on the deck
The sun was setting on a golden photo op
Back in the days of "mission [bad word] quot;

Thousands of bodies in the ground
Brought home in boxes to a [bad word] #39;s sound
No one sees [bad word] home that way
Thousands buried in the ground

Thousands of children scarred for life
Millions of tears for a soldier's wife
Both sides are losing now
Heaven takes them in
Thousands of children scarred for life

We had a chance to change our mind
But somehow wisdom was hard to find
We went with what we knew and now we can't go back
But we had a chance to change our mind.
