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
