Shock and Awe (Raw Version)

[Verse 1]
Back in the days of shock and awe
We came to liberate them all
History was the cruel judge of overconfidence
Back in the days of shock and awe

[Verse 2]
Back in the days of "Mission accomplished"
Our chief was landing on the deck
The sun was setting on a golden photo op
Back in the days of "Mission accomplished"

[Verse 3]
Thousands of bodies in the ground
Brought home in boxes to a trumpet's sound
No one sees them coming home that way
Thousands buried in the ground

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 4]
Thousands of children scarred for life
Millions of tears for a soldier's wife
Both sides are losing now, Heaven takes them in
Thousands of children scarred for life

[Verse 5]
We had a chance to change our mind
But somehow wisdom was hard to find
We went with what we knew and now we can't go back
But we had a chance to change our mind
