Witchdoctor - The Desert lyrics

[Witchdoctor] (SOS, SOS, this is Witchdoctor. Tell the captain to send a rescue chopper My partner down, this desert ain't for me - Send a few bodybags) [Chorus] {X2} Momma, I'm ready to come home, where I belong Cuz the desert is a warzone Momma, I'm ready to sit at the table and eat If I'ma die, I'd rather die in these dirty streets [Verse 1: Witchdoctor] My mentality is similar to a soldier's behavior My brother did six months in a desert in Saudi Arabia Nobody anticipated this war bein long-lastin Too many soldiers get k**ed , they gon start draftin In the streets, you need some loyalists on your team And in the desert, you need a vest and an M16 In a war, you got the enemy tryin to pill you But in the streets of Atlanta, you can get k**ed too I feel you, bullets make you lay down like a mattress f** a canteen, I'ma bite this cactus I'm sweatin, ceiled mirage and water in a well But I'm duckin from shrapnels and mortar shells Run out a bank, surprised at dye-pack Run out your foxhole, you can die in Iraq Bush called the war and now the guns forever clappin When I signed up for the Army, I didn't know this was gon happen [Chorus] {X2} [Verse 2: SOS] (SOS joins end of chorus) Than in the desert, dry lands Holdin metal, dreadin Iran Soldiers and generals are dyin fast In the desert, you can hear them cry for momma Back home they say to 'support the troops' but don't send em no armor Like 'so long, goner.' talking to us like we're his young daughter Like we don't know the difference between Saddam and Osama One of em just can't be found The other one they beat him once and they kicked him while he was down Gah! I just don't believe this, please just, don't cry when you read this But I feel like I'm much closer to Jesus Than he is, and I don't agree with what they say k**ing people for peace like there isn't a better way Ey! Isn't there, isn't there? They tell me not at all They just a lotta talk, dropping bombs - Shock and Awe But as long as we're strong we can all survive it Praying for peace in the desert cause I'm tired of fighting [Chorus] {X2}
