Whens It Gonna End?

Soliders overseas in Iraq
Many lost their freedom
Cause they lost their lives

Families over here in America 
Angry about that
No words to spreak to apoligize for that

Hey whens this gonna end
Whens enough blood gonna shed
Whats it gonna take to stop this war
Whens are troops comein back

Children here learning violence 
Takeing guns to school
Just for a little payback

Dads feelin guilty
Well he should
Bought more bullets just last wee
Now his son is lookin at 30 to life
Cause he took 13 kids life

Hey whens this gonna end
Whens enough blood gonna shed
Whats it gonna take to stop this war
Whens are troops comein back

News is always spillin bad things 
Thats all thats on anymore
Noone feels safe
Use to not always be like that
Hey whens this gonna end

Whens enough blood gonna shed
Whats it gonna take to stop this war
Whens are troops comein back

Hey America whens this gonna end
Whens enough blood gonna shed
Whats it gonna take to stop this war
We've been fightin at our own back door
