lyrics

BLOODY MESS

A man in a bar says, “I don’t know, it’s a crazy, mixed up war
At first I thought that we were right, but now I’m not so sure”
His buddy turns and he says “Yeah there’s too many kids been killed
But I’m still afraid to speak out at work and call it what it is”

Chorus:
It’s a bloody mess
We’ve got ourselves into
Can’t get no rest
These days when you watch the news
And all I can do
Is pray for the day when common sense will rule

You turn on the news and you see what’s going on
Political scandals and celebrity news run all day long
Five more Marines died today in bloody ole Baghdad
Countless Sunnis and Shias died too, but who can keep track of all that

Chorus

I don’t care who you voted for, I don’t care where you live
And if I seem to offend you sir, I hope that you’ll forgive
But if a Democrat had launched this war every Republican would call “Bullshit”
So why can’t you and me my friend, just call it what it is

Chorus

And we all guess
That it’s up to someone new
To get us OUT
You can’t rely on a chickenhawk, neocon, lowly squire
To get yourself out of a bloody quagmire
