Crippled Mercilessly by Homemade Bombs Lyrics

Stalking streets, occupying force
Foreign children killed by our bombs
I.E.D. retaliation - shrapnel skull, no tales to tell

Landmine dislocation - car bomb annihilation
"God is great" - a smoking crater
"Mission accomplished" - oil landgrab
Nine years in and going strong
Suckered into a stupid death
By smiling pricks in recruitment posters
Crippled mercilessly by homemade bombs

Wandering the streets in military fatigues
Demoralized by violence, jaded with life
Democracy is delivered by an I.C.B.M.
Get 'er done, glamour shot, another senseless death

Plastic leg, "he was a hero"
A steaming pile of human guts
...he might be home, but he's never coming back
