Do you want to go to Iraq?
Become a part of death and destruction.
Drive a tank through the streets,
quell the resistance.
Your proud that you serve your country,
I am proud that you serve.
Yet your commander in chief is a very wrong fellow.
More than happy to shed our young mans blood.
When is the greater good going to tear our world apart?
Passed down through the ages,
doesn't make war the right path.
Be strong for our citizens!
Strong enough to make a stand,
strong enough to shout "no more"!
Do you want to go to Iraq?
Is that blood-lust I see in your eyes?
You'll make those terrorists pay,
so our worlds a safer place.
Can't you see?
You're just like him.
Violence isn't the means to the end.
Serve your country proud.
Lay down your weapons, open your arms.
Become our Soldier of Peace.
