Rustic Overtones - Letter to the President lyrics

Dear Mr. President I'm a soldier With the 80nd airborne Stationed overseas My family and my friends All pray that God Is watching over me But even God Can't save us now Mr. President I'm writing you this poem And I've sent along A picture of my family Back at home I hear My heartbeat loud out In these k**ing fields Alone I always hit my target I just miss my happy home When will be The end of this all? When will be The end of this all Now that our back Is against the wall? (Whoa) I joined the army Like my father did And his father before I saw army green canvas Look like perfect Art of war The images I see now Aren't like the ones I saw before How am I a hero If I don't know What it's for? Days Are getting longer Nights I never get to sleep And I just had A newborn daughter That I hope I get to see I've got bloodshed On my conscience She's so innocent And free I just k**ed Some baby's father Better him Instead of me When will be The end of this all? Tell me When will be the end Of this all Now that our back Is against the wall And mankind Is getting small? Before the warlife It was beautiful We marched out in the sun Now it's stars and stripes At funerals Our darkest days have come Dyin' in this combat zone It scares me half to d**h Cuz if I don't make it To heaven what's to live For after d**h? I've seen mothers Of the friends I've lost out Marching in a crowd Cuz their sons Are wear purple hearts Inside their coffins In the ground When they left for war They thought Their mommas Would be proud When they faced off With their enemies They thought They'd take him down Hatred Is tearing us all apart Separation Is tearing the world apart Corruption is playing It's part, mhmm
