Boots on the Ground Lyrics


Theater of lengthy conflict

Smaller pieces of a much larger whole

Infiltration, precision strikes

Usurping complete control

Cheated youth at daggers drawn

Unfortunate expendable pawns

Nothing quite says, ‘howdy neighbor’

Like taking a shit on their lawn

Boots to protect, boots on your neck

Boots on the ground

War doesn’t turn men into monsters

War’s just a finishing school

Invasion always pushing forward

Until you meet your Waterloo

Getting richer or staying poor

Concealed causes to be fighting for

Domination, full deployment

If you want peace prepare for more…

Boots to protect, boots on your neck

The sound of boots

Boots on the ground

Boots of our youth, boots without truth

Boots to inspect, boots without respect

The sound of boots

Boots on the ground
