Crossfire
Caught inside the crossfire
In between what’s right and wrong
Been far too many places where
I know I don’t belong
I guess everything inside of me
Got changed back in the war
I suppose I was confused about
What we were fighting for
I thought to free a nation
And a people just the same
I didn’t realize it then
That it was just a game
So much for truth and honor
From our leaders like I said
As people died not knowing why
No politician bled
In their piety they question
Asking ‘where did we go wrong’
Excuses lame, they were to blame
As it went on and on
It’s so easy making choices
When the fight is miles away
For them there was no sacrifice
No debt of blood to pay
My rage at their indifference
Still lives inside of me
We left those people dying
When they wanted to be free
