War, War, kill or be killed Can't stop the pain but oh what a thrill Saddened with fear and a long way from home It's me and my buddies so I ain't alone Black, white, big and small When it comes to a brawl hell I trust 'em all Up with the moon and down with the sun Off on a mission with a knife and a gun War, War, kill or be killed Can't stop the pain but oh what a thrill Three sixty-five and now I'm back at home A wife and a child so I ain't alone I've got your back and you've got mine Trust in a brother that's hard to define Another man down, a coffin and flag Now damn I hate the sight of a body bag The smell of a battle, forever engrained To the scent of a war, I'll always be chained Love and hate they bookend the game But me and my men will never be the same War, War, kill or be killed Can't stop the pain but oh what a thrill Now I'm back home and the mission is done So why can't I sleep if we really won? I'm a little beat up but I won the game I made it back home and they say I ain't the same I did what they asked and I'd do it again But let's try not to let another begin I've got your back and you've got mine Trust in a brother that's hard to define Another man down, a coffin and flag Now damn I hate the sight of a body bag Now damn I hate the sight of a body bag War, War, kill or be killed Can't stop the pain but oh what a thrill
