Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They taught us 'bout Geneva convention and the rules to follow during war In a classroom, hot and dry Said, "There's a right way to fight a war" Beneath a patriotic sky They drew lines on a map for us And told us not to cross [Chorus] But the lines got blurry, didn't they? When the dust began to fly All those rules they preached and prayed Just withered up and died Broken treaties, shattered trust Just sand kicked in your eye [Verse 2] Heard the General on the TV screen Talkin' 'bout collateral cost While a farmer's field, a child's dream Were forever, truly lost Said "rules of engagement," a fancy phrase For things they'd overlook we even got a guy that says he knows more than the generals. as he sends other people kids to die. The same man that said people that died at war were losers. how does the people let their own hatred of one another be there downfall how do you go from we the people to we the party [Chorus] 'Cause the lines got blurry, didn't they? When the dust began to fly All those rules they preached and prayed Just withered up and died Broken treaties, shattered trust Just sand kicked in your eye. President that says troops that died we're losers. makes fun of disabled citizens. Don't believe in freedom of the press how do you respect the system that does the opposite of what it preaches [Bridge] They send you off with a flag and a prayer A uniform, clean and new Then they ask you to forget what's fair And just see the mission through The cost of victory, they call it But who's really payin' the toll? and all my years of life this is the first time I don't respect the highest office in the land what if we done as a nation what have we become are we fighting for freedom or oil [Chorus] 'Cause the lines got blurry, didn't they? When the dust began to fly All those rules they preached
