about

this song is all about the wars fought since the 2nd World War. The big business of war, "the soldier" has to give his life to make the politician and the big companies more rich with any war fought! There is no mandate given by the UN for any war post WWII! Think about it...

1. We had to fly out to "protect" what we don't understand
where we have to go this is not our land
why don't you tell us what we__ are fighting for? Mr. President

2. You know our men will die again on foreign soil
after years of fighting we know we are still strangers here
we are strangers there, we are strangers everywhere, so we are

3. before they will lay me down I wanna see my country again
they don't allow anymore, hey warrior, what do we explore?
the sun is rising honey, and you are so far away from me

Chorus :

so tell me Mr. Politician is it just for the money?
you risk my life ‘n’ I won't see my honey anymore
so don't fool me around am American bound
with a true heart to my country but not dirty money you're greedy

solo part à like verse 1

4. we went out to kill people we don't know
destroy their houses, their families and their land
so better tell me what is it good for? or is it already the end? Mr. President

5. we fight for religion and we fight for more justice,
we fight for democracy, ‘n’ for black ‘n’ whites same rights
sometimes we fight for our lives simply to survive these fights

6. you called us to give our lives in your war to make it right
aren't your wars make you rich while the soldier give his life?
dying in a foreign land coming home in a box

Chorus :

so tell me Congressman is it just for the money?
you risk my life ‘n’ I won't see my honey anymore
so don't fool me around am American bound
with a true heart to my country but not dirty money you're greedy

Chorus :

so tell me Mr. Politician is it just for the money?
that you risk my life ‘n’ I won't see my honey anymore
so don't fool me around ⇓ am American bound
with a true heart to my country but not dirty money
with a true heart to my country but not dirty money
