Last night I had a bad dream That my soldier fell Well some may call this war But I call it...hell And I tied yellow ribbons Round every tree in the yard I even tied one on The antenna of my car And they'll stay right where they are Until my soldier comes home From the guard Oh what were they thinking When they started this war Not about the hearts That would be breaking that's for sure Oh God I hate this war It's been going on to long Oh God I hate this war Because it's just wrong Oh God I hate this war Cause I want my soldier to come home Oh I love to hear the voice Of my soldier on the phone When the call is over That's when I break down And somehow I need closure Cause I just want my soldier... To be closer Oh what were they thinking Didn't they count the cost What about the lives Of our loved ones that would be lost Oh God I hate this war It's been going on to long Oh God I hate this war Because it's just wrong Oh God I hate this war Cause I want my soldier to come home Some days I just can't take it anymore Oh God I hate this war Cause I want my soldier to come home Oh I want my soldier to come home
