He joined the army to escape the dole
Before he knew it he was on patrol
In a foreign land, surrounded by hate
To keep the government friends with the United States
How was he supposed to know
Who was friend or who was foe?
Betrayed by those he tried to set free
But the government was just too blind to see
Why oh why did he have to choose
Between rock and roll and the afghan blues?
The news at home had nothing to say
Sent home in bits some sunny day
Another boy pays the ultimate price
While we sit at home and listen to their lies
Why did you send them, did they have to go?
Did Obama bribe you with some dough?
Sent troops to fight a war that wasn't ours
To keep us friendly with the super powers
Why oh why did he have to choose
Between rock and roll and the afghan blues?
He joined the army to escape the dole
Before he knew it he was on patrol
In a foreign land, surrounded by hate
To keep the government friends with the United States
Why oh why did he have to choose
Between rock and roll and the afghan blues?
Why oh why did he have to choose
Between rock and roll and the afghan blues?
