Song calling upon American soldiers, who participate in the illegal occupation of Iraq, to listen to the voices of their consciences.
Never thought you'd ever be here did you now
Never thought you'd ever see this did you now
What you doing in these far away places facing unknown faces
Of various races some are friends some are foes
But who can be a war hero
In a war that brings destruction to a land already torn (already torn…)

Did you actually believe it when they said you could achieve it
And now you're fighting for a goal but your not sure if you will see it
cuz a lot of your friends have gone home in bags
What exactly did they die for covered in flags (covered in flags…)

(Get your ass back home cuz your girl is waiting alone…)
Get your ass back home your girl is waiting alone
And your mom's apple pie is still hot on the stove
And only God knows how you miss the USA

Get your ass back home cuz your war is wrong
cuz they made you a killer of the innocent ones
And only God knows how you miss the USA

Killing people is illegal under any kind of law
What's the reason that you think you are above the law
Do you remember when they told you were there to fight Saddam
cuz of weapons of mass destruction he was hiding in his home
Now you all saw how it turned out to be a lie
Are you blind
Not to see a lie
When the lie
Is uncovered to your eye
Are you blind
Don't you see the lie?
Now your raging through the streets with your eyes
Open wide
Patrolling late at night
Do you wanna fight tonight or would you rather take a flight
Straight out of this place
back to where it feels right…

Get your ass back home cuz your girl is waiting alone
And your mom's apple pie is still hot on the stove
And only God knows how you miss the USA

Get your ass back home cuz your war is wrong
cuz they made you a killer of the innocent ones
And only God knows how you miss the USA

Do you remember all the faces of the innocent Iraqis
and innocent Afghanis that you killed with your rockets?
Did you ever hear about being an honourable soldier
If it's possible at all well then your definitely not that soldier
Your orders tonight were «Shoot to kill»
Kill who? But the sergeant said: «Shoot at will»
And you went on a rampage with your crazy attitudes
Storming homes of people with your weapons and your tools
Don't you feel like fools
Being tools
Of the one who rules
He knows you're fools
Taking orders from the one who makes the rules
and then breaks the rules
breaks the rules

Get your ass back home your girl waiting alone
And your mom's apple pie is still hot on the stove
And only God knows how you miss the USA

Get your ass back home cuz your war is wrong
cuz they made you a killer of the innocent ones
And only God knows how you miss the USA
