Private second class narc shot where the Valium mattered Simulacra of comfort simulation of home Business class sleeper drooling A dream the color of paper Staring snow-blind and hungry On something absent at home His head the water feature Gracing identical suburban homes Joined to keep the aqueduct supplying our Rome But got a little too close Folie a deux, C.O. and middle manager Ordered compliance is their contribution The magic eye of hearts and minds The Shi'ites share our all-volunteer approach Our image is the highest honor we can bestow Do what you will when we say go The green zone, the dream We take when we leave ...chocks... (unintelligible) plane Empty promises recruiters never claim Holes in families, holes in countries U.X.O. we drown in drink God bless Al-A'amiriya And every crater we can't name Every uniform's a pallbearer Dragging our whole world into the back of the plane Zenless archers, not aiming Found their center, their calling A meal ticket providing There's nothing waiting at home Individual dreamers In interchangeable countries While far Annapolis greases The human capital rolls Standing water army growing Sea bloom, clouding how deep it goes Commercials show the paratroopers Never the guards, or the drones And the first strike falls And the ants below start moving away Mute hidden, raw-boned technician killers drive home Crippled Eagles flying away The world that we've been hiding from ourselves Still bears our face The turret gunner gets the hose For trying to catch a raise in pay The poor die while the rich Forgive each other's proud mistakes Twenty years and our Omerta holds Even as our holdings wane You lied to my brother And your words won't cover his grave Hide what's left of him beneath your carrion flag Do you have no shame
