"Ashes Of The Wake" lyrics
We killed a lot of innocent civilians
To us, every civilian in Baghdad was a terrorist
These fedayeen now in civilian clothes. That makes everybody free game
But if they came within our perimeter, we lit 'em up
And when we would pull the body out, and when we would search the car, we would find nothing
This took place time and time again
No harm. No foul. That's OK. Don't worry about it
Because this is a new type of war. This is an eradication
I honestly feel that we're committing genocide over here
I don't believe in killing civilians
And I'm not gonna kill civilians for the United States Marine Corp
To us, every civilian in Baghdad was a terrorist
These fedayeen now in civilian clothes. That makes everybody free game
But if they came within our perimeter, we lit 'em up
And when we would pull the body out, and when we would search the car, we would find nothing
This took place time and time again
No harm. No foul. That's OK. Don't worry about it
Because this is a new type of war. This is an eradication
I honestly feel that we're committing genocide over here
I don't believe in killing civilians
And I'm not gonna kill civilians for the United States Marine Corp
