War Crimes

You should have gone to Canada
 You could have run away
 But you couldn't shame your parents
 You say you had to stay
 So you get yourself drafted
 So you went ahead and went
 And you thought you'd be a hero
 And not a dissident
 War Crime!
 War Crime!
 You used to be a good boy
 You used to be the best
 Then you tried the drug
 Ad you dreamt about the west
 Everyone's your enemy
 Everyone's your friend
 Your world was upside down
 To kill was not to sin
 So you shot the wrong woman
 Or you shot the wrong kid
 Now Sam will make you regret
 That you ever did
 But you had no choice
 You were told what to do
 Orders from the helicopter crew
 War Crime!
 War Crime!
 Back home they wanted blood
 For the atrocities
 For the innocent who died
 On they're TVs
 They demanded justice
 They demanded you
 They wanted to watch you hang
 Till you turned blue
 War Crime!
 War Crime!
 And the president said that that's OK
 Because it takes they're attention away
 From the real crime, the war
 There are no war crimes
 War is the crime!
