Cost Of War

22seconds

Dear commander and cheif I served in the army for 5 years
Willing to give my life for this country like audey murphy did
while i was in I got married and had a kid
and got a taste of the american Dream for a short period
things got serious when I got back from iraq
I honestly had trouble adapting back from Iraq
Was never the best husband I wasnt really ready for marriage
but over there for a year and a half she was all that I cherished
I asked god for his blessing.. and sparing my life
that i could make it back home to my daughter and wife
before I left we would fight but nothing like when I returned
Before this I ran into the law once for not signaling on a right turn
This is a year later and Ive learned from All my mistakes
and I can honestly say that I had or still have ptsd
and Im not using this as a cruch to amend my sins
But treating Our Soldiers Like this just dont make no sense

Chrous
but
The Cost Of War Is The Price We Pay
Loose Your Wife, Your Kids, or Your Mother Today

Loose your mind, Your legs, Your arms, Your head
Loose your ability, Your Finances, Your Common Sense
But

The Cost of war is the price we pay
and theres nothing you can do about it

But Pay, But Pay
But Pay, But Pay
But Pay, But Pay
But Pay, But Pay
But Pay, But Pay
But Pay, But Pay

I had a 100 g's when i got back of course i didnt know how to act
21 years old i think I'll cop me a lac
or cop me a jag pop champagne and gucci tags
because who knows where Im going next time and if Im coming back
now its my faught for my act but why is this my mind set
why do i believe I must live it up because next time I might not come back
from combat... from going over there at war
so I spent all my money ...and now im poor
sleeping on somebodys floor... or somebodys couch
because the us army kicked ....my black ass out
I would been better off just going to school
so thats what I plan to do but the too my GI bill TOO
I gave 5 years to you... Shed Sweat and tears for you

and now im getting out so its like screw you
You dont have to own up to what you promised to....
I guess you dont... since ..im just another boot

They Said I hit her and Theres no reason for me to lie to you sir
the second to the last time.. she hit me first
but her leaving me hurt especially at that time
where i felt like i couldnt.. control my mind
I tried to drink away the pain with wine....
For over a 100 days straight... I swear cried
like how could this all happen ...and why....
I got locked up 4 times in less then 4 months time
and my chain of command couldnt see something was wrong with my mind
they stood fast blind watching me destory my life
watching as another soldier in the army fucked my wife
from him they didnt take one stripe but they tried to take mind
and he was contributing to the destruction of my mind
down to the bottom I went and again I must climb
If I knew this back then I would of never volunteered for the frontline
I ended up loosing my wife my daughter and my time

Small Chrous:
The Cost Of War Is The Price We Pay
Loose Your Wife, Your Kids, or Your Mother Today

Loose your mind, Your legs, Your arms, Your head
Loose your ability, Your Fianances, Your Common Sense
But

The Cost of war is the price we pay
