War For Peace
Besieged by the patriotic zeal
With lots of hope and freewill,
We set forth for the battlefield
With guns, grenades and body shield.
With the messages of love and harmony,
To spread freedom and democracy
We’ll bring down hard to his knees
Whoever opposes our war for peace.
We believe our mission is right
As such to the last breath we’ll fight,
If we but lose a limb or an eye
Trained to die, we’ll ask not why?
It’s but our way or the highway
And nobody better otherwise say,
There’s no way we’ll cut and run
Proud to be alive or dead American.
