Funk Vigilante - Smoke and Mirrors lyrics

Dear mama, I just wanted to let you know Mama i just wanted to say That i miss you And I can't wait to get back home Did they talk about us on the news today? Did they tell everybody how we are fighting for your freedom? Mama this uniform gets so warm in the desert sun Don't worry mama my machine gun keeps me cool At least until the storm has begun With every step the truth becomes clearer Falsified in this depraved theatre 'Round and 'round we go I can't hear you With every breath the lie becomes weaker Falsified in this depraved theatre 'Round and 'round we go I can't hear you You play along You sing that song March to the drums of war and fear In this deception Communication Is lost in all the smoke and mirrors Dear mama, My blood is drying in these desert sands I'm not sure But i think i took a shot Everything is spinning I'm getting dizzy And it's hard to breath The desert sun is getting hot Don't worry mama my machine gun is getting cool And I've lost the urge to write But mama Does it comfort you to know this? That the box that i come home in Will be dressed in stars and stripes
