Songtext Into the war De Heideroosjes

Into the war

Addicted to clean violence as seen on the t.v. screen
Not a man but just a boy and he's looking mean
Never seen a corpse, not knowing how it smells
It's never you who dies it's always someone else
Go into the war as if you play a football game
You want to become a hero
so that everybody knows your name
You have to puke when you see the first rotten body
But it won't take long cause destruction is all you'll see

(CHORUS)
Into the war, strong as a man
Than you want out as fast as you can
But the door is locked, there's no way back
Kill or be killed you have to attack

What is it that you fuckin' fighting for?
You just don't know cause you couldn't think anymore
Your friends are tortured, killed in the front of your eyes
It's not only friends, it's a piece of you that dies
And one time you realize, you're just a fucking victim
Nothing more than a puppet of a rotten system

(CHORUS)

How many soldiers you have killed you just don't know
All the mothers that will cry for the sons you blow
Maybe he is just as old as you
Maybe he likes punkrock and has a girlfriend too
It is just a game with a deadly end
In the end you don't know who's your enemy or friend
The leaders they will talk but won't change a thing
Total fuckin' madness is what war you will bring!

(CHORUS)
