I'm just a normal man I wouldn't hurt nothing at all, but here we are Our leaders have a plan I'd only kill if it's for them, now here we areI drove in a car and flew in a plane To come to your house and kick your door in Now it's down to this, it's just you and me I'll blow your fucking head off for my countryI go to church and tithe I go to work in a suit and tie, but this is war I'm really not sure why But the TV says that you are wrong, now here we areI drove in a car and flew in a plane To come to your house and kick your door in Now it's down to this, it's just you and me I'll blow your fucking head off for my countryMy feet hurt from the sand But still I march on gun in hand, 'cause this is war This isn't what I planned I wanted to be so much more, but this is warI drove in a car and flew in a plane To come to your house and kick your door in Now it's down to this, it's just you and me I'll blow your fucking head off for my country, my country
