Heideroosjes - Into The War lyrics

Addicted to clean violence as seen on the t.v. screen

Not a man but just a boy and he's looking mean

Never seen a corpse, not knowing how it smells

It's never you who dies it's always someone else

Go into the war as if you play a football game

You want to become a hero

so that everybody knows your name

You have to puke when you see the first rotten body

But it won't take long cause destruction is all you'll see

[Chorus]

Into the war, strong as a man

Than you want out as fast as you can

But the door is locked, there's no way back

Kill or be killed you have to attack

What is it that you fuckin' fighting for?

You just don't know cause you couldn't think anymore

Your friends are tortured, killed in the front of your eyes

It's not only friends, it's a piece of you that dies

And one time you realize, you're just a fucking victim

Nothing more than a puppet of a rotten system

[Chorus]

How many soldiers you have killed you just don't know

All the mothers that will cry for the sons you blow

Maybe he is just as old as you

Maybe he likes punkrock and has a girlfriend too

It is just a game with a deadly end

In the end you don't know who's your enemy or friend

The leaders they will talk but won't change a thing

Total fuckin' madness is what war you will bring!

[Chorus]
