SIR NO SIR

Open your eyes desert sand is in your vision now
You know the lies while you're off in a distant land
How do you justify the crimes you're committing kid?
Now that you've seen what it's like on this battlefield
Hey what you say when the sun comes low
Knocking at my front door looking for a way out
Now let it go with a solemn sense of purpose
Can't hold on we're on our own again

Something's got to give, something's got to give
Something's got to give, something's got to give

Your planet's burning war and torture's madness
Bodies burning a whole countries torn to bits
First you're cannon-fodder now you're accomplices
I can see the scars from your arms to your conscience
Hey what you say when the sun comes low
Knocking at my front door looking for a way out
Now let it go with a solemn sense of purpose
Can't hold on we're on our own again

Something's got to give, something's got to give
Something's got to give, something's got to give

I love working for Uncle Sam
Lets me know just who I am!
I love working for Uncle Sam
Lets me know just who I am!

Sir, No Sir!
Sir, No Sir!
Sir, No Sir!
Sir, No Sir!

Something's got to give, something's got to give
Something's got to give, something's got to give
Something's got to give, something's got to give
Something's got to give, no more hopelessness

@buddyluv545

we should be criticizing & pushing the troops that way they will finally take a stand. Yes, there's possibilities of a draft if troops were to refuse to voluntarily sign up for war, but it would also spark truth to the people & would also spark the possibility of a revolution to unfold. The idea of boycotting the military is the only way we can end this war, & so we must, together, take a stand against the imperialist regime, & show them that we've had enough. Down with capitalism!

[pishdad]

damn. rage should tour with these folks.

[Limnades99]

Oh, one more thing. I hear all these songs ripping the US Military about atrocities committed. Has anyone ever read the UN report on civillians killed by "friendly fire"? In 2010 the number of casualties were down from NATO attacks. I know, ideally no one should die, but the number of civillians killed by the Taliban increased.  Why is no one singing songs about the casualties of the Taliban or the atrocities they commit? I have yet to hear one American band sing of their atrocities.

[Limnades99]

I like the song, but disagree with the lyrics. The music is good and the words and ideas expressed admirable, but to attack the soldiers of this country is wrong. As a soldier you cannot disobey orders, it's called "insubordination" and a soldier can be court martialed and dishonorably discharged. If you don't agree with the military life and what has to be done as a soldier, don't join. Simple. If you want to protest, great, but learn from Vietnam. It's the system, not the soldiers.

damn bleeding hearts

[TheBi0Mistake]

Is there an instrumental?

[BuzzLOLOL]

.. All wars are fueled by evil psychotic religion addiction/psychosis... someone says, "let's have a war"... they get ignored... but if they add, "those people are a different religion from us..."... then the religics sign up by the millions for another war fueled by unreasoning psychotic religious hatreds... religics preach 'peace', but are first in line to sign up for another war...

[APalmer26]

In the words of matisyahu, "All my life I been waitin' for, I been prayin' for, for the people to say that we don't want to fight no more.

They'll be no more wars and, our children will play, one day."
