Flobots - Bradley Manning lyrics

(Chorus 2x) I'm not superstitious but I hope You'll believe me when I tell You that my whole world will end If I cannot be with you If you see something, say something Uncle Sam wants you, to please pay attention Cause freedom ain't free. It's paid for by The people that bleed. They can do it for the people that breathe The same air. It ain't fair so we read them and weep Thinking about that's lost, thinking bout that time served, thinking about that high cost When we see the family; pay attention This is the story of one young man, the country has been making fun of him But he didn't let that stun gun him No, signed up for the few, the proud, the duty sworn. Uncle Sam wants you, As stated himself when he put on that uniform (Chorus 2x) 2009, October, one young man crossed over The Iraqi border. For the first time And began marching to orders 2009, November, one month in Private First Cla** Saw soldiers shooting reporters; Brad was aghast And then they die, and the boys laughed It was like a child torturing ants with a magnifying gla** And when they died Brad was aghast; He felt the shells from the blast impact he had to tell somebody (Chorus 2x) Uncle Sam wants you; and now he's in the prison cell Freedom ain't free while I'm out here living well It ain't fair he stays there; thinking about the time served Wanna stand and shout, wanna sing so loud, he could hear us speak And what I'm seeing on the screen, screaming and race running Another scene, bleeding and face numbing And when they die, boys laughed I wanna shake someone, I wanna scream "If you see something say something!" Bradley Manning 7x Manning Manning Bradley Manning 7x Manning manning We can turn this world inside out (Chorus 3x)
