War Crimes

You should have gone to Canada

You could have run away

But you couldn't shame your parents

You say you had to stay

So you get yourself drafted

So you went ahead and went

And you thought you'd be a hero

And not a dissident

War Crime... War Crime

You used to be a good boy

You used to be the best

Then you tried the drug

Ad you dreamt about the west

Everyone's your enemy

Everyone's your friend

Your world was upside down

To kill was not to sin

So you shot the wrong woman

Or you shot the wrong kid

Now Sam will make you regret

That you ever did

But you had no choice

You were told what to do

Orders from the helicopter crew

War Crime... War Crime

Back home they wanted blood

For the atrocities

For the innocent who died

On they're TVs

They demanded justice

They demanded you

They wanted to watch you hang

Till you turned blue

War Crime... War Crime

And the president said that that's OK

Because it takes they're attention away

From the real crime, the war

There are no war crimes

War is the crime
