Born in 1987 His Mammas' little slice of heaven
She said I think we'll name him Kevin What a truly blessed day
Send him off to church on Sunday And he'll go to college
someday We'll have to find the money someway It's the American way

Shock and awe is pretty thrilling, and there's lots of oil for drilling
Don't worry about the blood we're spilling, they had it coming anyway
So go ahead and bomb the village, go ahead and rape and pillage
We're getting pretty good at killing, it's the American way

Lost her husband John in 04' Nothing to show for all they worked for Kids can't go to college no more All your dreams have slipped away

You want a life that's filled with purpose So you'll go and join the service Son don't let that make you nervous It's the American way

Shock and awe is pretty thrilling, and there's lots of oil for drilling
Don't worry about the blood we're spilling, they had it coming anyway
So go ahead and bomb the village, go ahead and rape and pillage
We're getting pretty good at killing, it's the American way

Read the letter that his wife sent Got hungry headed for the mess tent Woke up wondering where his legs went They were just here yesterday

Now he's back home with his loved ones But his life aint very much fun Suck it up you'll be ok son It's the American way

Shock and awe is pretty thrilling,
and there's lots of oil for drilling Don't worry about the blood we're spilling,
they had it coming anyway So go ahead and bomb the village, go ahead and rape
and pillage We're getting pretty good at killing, it's the American way

Don't put the pictures on the TV They won't question what they don't see Don't you know that freedom aint free? Hell somebody has to pay

It don't pay to scream and holler Rich folks going to keep their dollars Poor folks going to live in squalor It's the American way

Shock and awe is pretty thrilling, and there's lots of oil for drilling
Don't worry about the blood we're spilling, they had it coming anyway
So go ahead and bomb the village, go ahead and rape and pillage
We're getting pretty good at killing, it's the American way
