The Crest - k** 'Em lyrics

[Verse 1] Here's my homie trying to be patriotic Wanna fight for Uncle Sam, so he dropped out of college Looking back at his friends, like you're not gonna follow? Then you're not a real American, you're heart is all hollow He enlisted, and in a couple of months was trained Jumped up on a plane with what Uncle pumped in his brain Dehumanize the enemy, accept you're there to set them free That's an oxymoron B, and that's why they're not sending me [Split Verse] So my homie's at his post, his eyes are never closed He needs to recognize what's coming up this pebble road This one time he sees a van that he doesn't know And feels this is a place that van doesn't need to go So as they get closer, his gun is out his holster He's doing what he's told to, spewing like a cobra The van is full of women, children, civilians But that doesn't stop his trigger finger from k**ing He spit his whole clip, tore the van a new ceiling And then yells out to see if anyone's still living Out comes a mom, shaken cause her son Was k**ed in front of her eyes, so was her husband k** 'Em all [hook] k** 'Em f**ing k** 'em k** 'em already k** 'em f**ing k** 'em f**ing k** 'em k** 'em already k** 'em f**ing k** 'em f**ing k** 'em k** 'em already k** 'em f**ing k** 'em f**ing k** 'em k** 'em already k** 'em [Verse 2] In his last letter home, he told her it was close To the time he'd be getting back, but when he didn't know On extended stay, baby daughter on the way And they, were supposed to have been married last May He was called on by his country, put him in a Humvee Go to the Middle East, police the tired, poor, and hungry On his last patrol he saw something in the road But couldn't stop in time before that something would explode A homemade device, made to take a life Made by a man who already lost his son and wife Made by a man whose homeland had payed the price Of an occupation in the name of the stars and stripes We hear it every night, read it every morning More terrorists to fight, the war must keep going When so easy we forget, the true cause and effect What do you tell a daughter who lost a dad that she never met? k** 'Em all! [Hook] [Verse 3] To the troops that are dying for patriotism Understand you're being used, and raped by the system Supposedly the heroes, but they make you the victim Strip you of your humanity, and force you to k** 'Em In the religion of capitalism Civilian life can't compare to the stacks of a million Bucks contracted to build back up a village That was destroyed by Haliburton's thousand pound Missiles [Split Verse] If only life were a string, of simple yes and no Just good vs. evil, no middle of the road No riddles to decode, maybe then we'd be free From constraints used to shape and polarize our beliefs But truth is convoluted, and propaganda's thick Find yourself at a crossfire when public opinion splits Find yourself at a loss for any description that fits Find yourself with a heart torn, and ripped into tiny bits
