Out On Patrol 08:27 Lyrics: "Tehran" In your plane the blue sky You roam again Words that echo in your mind Make your heart beat faster This is no Vietnam We will win in Iran The President said "Let it ride, ride" Islam be damned Make your last stand In Tehran Warrior, the time bombs About to go What will you feel You ever wonder? If the man that's in your sights Ever kissed his girl goodbye The Captain said "Kill or die, die" Islam be damned Make your last stand In Tehran Great Satan Great Satan Great Satan (Our flags are burning) Great Satan (Our flags are burning) Great Satan (Our flags are burning) (Aah) Great Satan (Our flags will burning) (Aah) Soon, America may find its young men in the sand Where the casualty is just a number in Iran The President said, "Let it ride, ride" You will be damned Make your last stand In Tehran In Tehran. "Crossroads" Time has washed away and now I may wonder How did it all slip by? 'Cause I always thought we had forever Future calls to me to take me away from things I don't want to leave behind Like I'm slipping away I can't hold on Find that path alone Crossroads lead me away But that's not what worries me I just want to know what's home Find that path alone Crossroads lead me away But that's not what worries me I just want to know what's home Through it all my mind still wanders To the one who touched my soul Though her road leads away She's still my True love I could believe Say it again, again, again Will is not enough when all those Lost days stand in the way She was all my hopes and dreams, my Whole world I could believe Been a long time, won't be again I still want to know Want to know Who can see for me Crossroads tell me Now you'll have to trade Your past away And find another day So is change a friend or an enemy Through what comes to pass I'll find my way I've seen it all before But is the best you can be The best thing to be Some people say You're just wasting time But that's not what worries me I just want to know what's home. "Jennifer Lost The War" Jennifer lost the war today They'll find her burned and raped Through it all, she must have wondered "What have I done?" But nobody really cares today The world's a busy place Guess she must have really sinned, now Really sinned, now I guess we're all just soldiers But she was only six years old Left to die by strangers Her family waits And if we're all just soldiers Is it so wrong to be afraid? Jennifer lost the war Phoebe lost the war today There must be some mistake Say it happens all the time And it's said and done And Little Miss 1565 Your soul remains unclaimed Guess you must have really sinned, now Really sinned, now Morality won't help her When she lies silent in a morgue And all our sorrows, well, just Don't count at all But will the morning headlines Even say that it's a shame? What are we heading for? Jennifer lost the war Seen it all before Silent on the ground As he's walking away And I wonder how many more Everybody'll take it Like they've nothing to say Jennifer lost, lost, lost, lost the war, now I guess we're all just soldiers But she was only six years old Left to die by strangers Her family waits And will the morning headlines Even say that it's a shame? What are we heading for? "Out On Patrol" Look at you, soldier boy, now With that big gun in your little hand As you patrol this foreign land Hear the mine that clicks beneath your feet Hey, hey, whoa Now do you see the light? Fading while your world is crumbling Out on patrol And all you can do is sit and stare What revelation have you now? What culmination to your speck of life? Your moment in time As you sit here all alone Will your buddies come and save your life? But as the enemy appears See your life flash before your eyes Hey, hey, whoa Now do you see the light? Fading while your world is crumbling Out on patrol And all you can do is sit and stare What revelation have you now? What culmination to your speck of life? Your moment in time Hey, hey, whoa Now do you see the light? Fading while your world is crumbling Out on patrol And all you can do is sit and stare What revelation have you now? What culmination to your speck of life? Your moment in time It's your life It's your life It's your life (Ohh, ohh, ohh) It's your life It's your life It's your life (Ohh, ohh, ohh) Uno dos tres cuatro!
