He's for the war,
He won't be doing the fighting
He's strictly a
home front warrior
Nearly signed
Up after 9/11
But decided to
Heed father's advice
And the houses are impressive
On this tree lined suburb road
You won't find many Rambos
Living here in this zipcode...
He ain't for the war
He ain't against it
He's got a job to do
His job is to recruit
Across this great land
They're falling short of quotas
Out here in the sticks,
The Sergeant does OK
There aren't many options,
The mills are mostly closed
The Sergeant ain't complaining
About working these zipcodes…
Shock and awe it was
Shock and awe it was
Really cool on fox TV..
Felt like payback for the
Tumbling towers at least
That's how it felt for me…
Now she's for the war
She's mostly unaffected
Her life hasn't changed
Much to speak about
SURE SHE'S CONCERNED 'bout
The soldiers and their families
But after all,
They're all volunteers
And we'll all see it was worth it,
Somewhere down the road
And she lives on an estate
That could have it's own zipcode..
He was against the war
But he gets no satisfaction
As the whole damn thing
Blows up in our face
He had read
You break then you own it
It's working out,
Pretty much that way
Ain't no vindication
As public support erodes
'Cause he knows how they are grieving out
In them small town zipcodes..
Shock and awe it was
Shock and awe it was
Really cool on CNN
Bombs bursting in the air
The rockets green glare
Looked just like a sequel to me..
If you was for the war
Or if you were against it
You must admit
It's really been a bitch
Was no easy task,
It took a special talent
drive a super power
Into a deep and sandy ditch
The wheels just keep spinning
In forward and reverse
You know before it's better,
Gonna get a whole lot worse..
Shock and awe wasn't
Shock and awe wasn't
All it was cracked up to be
If they wasn't in on 9/11
What's this for treachery,
Treachery…
He won't be doing the fighting
He's strictly a
home front warrior
Nearly signed
Up after 9/11
But decided to
Heed father's advice
And the houses are impressive
On this tree lined suburb road

Lyrics & Music by Joe Messanella
Album: Long Lost Home
As always, a small proportion of the population are left to carry the burden of our leader's folly ...cheered on by the home front warriors who have no intention to serve or sacrifice.
