  How many more troops are going to come home dead?

  How many more troops are never going to sleep in their bed?

  How many more troops are going to leave their families alone

  at home?

  They had hopes and dreams, and now they are dead by

  a President's ropes and schemes?

  How many brides and grooms are never going to get wed?



  We have tried and so many have died.

  How long will it be before the President can no longer hide?

  How long will it be before the President can no longer ignore

  the roar?



   How many troop deaths are we going to ignore?

   How many more are going to have bombs and lead go through their heads?

   How many more troop deaths are we simply going to let pass through our heads?

  

We have tried and so many have died.

How long will it be before the President can no longer hide?

How long will it be before the President can no longer ignore

the roar?

  

   For a country, they did die.

   How many more are going to die before we say why?

   Die, how many more troops need to before we say oops?

   How many more troops does the enemy need to take before

   we say it was a mistake?

   How many parents need to fear a car arrive

   How many parents need to fear a knock on the door?

   The bruising, soul-losing, floor sending message that

   their child is no longer alive.

    

  We have tried and so many have died.

  How long will it be before the President can no longer hide?

  How long will it be before the President can no longer ignore

  the roar?



  Does the man have a plan?

  Does he think he can get out?

  He wants to show the world what he is all about.

  He does not know what the war is all about.

  He seems more about standing tall.



We have tried and so many have died.

How long will it be before the President can no longer hide?

How long will it be before the President can no longer ignore

the roar?



      Now, there is talk of a civil war.

      Something to nobody says wow, but how.

      To the entire Middle East, it could spread.

      It could be a long time before it comes to a head.

      How many troops are going to end up dead?

      There will musical organs going bong, and

      a lot of funeral songs will play.

      No, it will not be ok.

    

  We have tried and so many have died.

  How long will it be before the President can no longer hide?

  How long will it be before the President can no longer ignore

  the roar?



Yes, getting involved in that is an idea we should ignore.

No, getting involved in that is an idea we should not explore.
