  • I'm just a normal man
    I wouldn't hurt nothing at all
    But here we are

    Our leaders have a plan
    I'd only kill if it's for them
    Now here we are

    I drove in a car and flew in a plane
    To come to your house and kick your door in
    Now it's down to this, it's just you and me
    I'll blow your fucking head off for my country

    I go to church and tithe
    I go to work in a suit and tie
    But this is war
    I'm really not sure why
    But the TV says that you are wrong
    Now here we are

    [Chorus: x2]
    My feet hurt from the sand
    But still I march on gun in hand
    Cause this is war
    This isn't what I planned
    I wanted to be so much more
    But this is war Writer/s: Sean Danielsen
