Christmas in Fallujah

They talk about this place called Mesopotamia
The Tigris and Euphrates
It's cool they talk of this special place
The place humanity
One day these poor nomads
Sitting on some black gold
The West with their automobiles
Said "Do what you're told"

But I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home for long
'Cause I'm driving a tank in Fallujah
I won't be driving home

I signed up for those damn services
For that damn college money
I don't know what the hell we're doing here
Go ask Dick Cheney
I love this big ol country
These songs and its flag
But this government is so sick
I want to freaking gag

But I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home for long
'Cause I'm driving a tank in Fallujah
I won't be driving home

Imagine your homeland invaded
Family put in harms way
If this happened to our own country
I'd be an insurgent today
Tell my family I love them
God them the letters sure nice
People don't need no damn democracy
Just a big bag of rice

But I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home for long
'Cause I'm driving a tank in Fallujah
I won't be driving home

My comrades they are a-dying
We lose em more every day
They talk about the price for a gallon
But thats not the price we pay

But I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home for long
'Cause I'm driving a tank in Fallujah
I won't be driving home
But I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home for long
'Cause I'm driving a tank in Fallujah
I won't be driving home
