And everybody's got to lose sometime
I'm just sitting back looking in the mirror
Watching two kids fight over a dime
Thinking of what I've done
Thinking of what to do
I've just killed someone
Threw a bomb next to his shoe
Welcome to reality...this is war
It's not playtime anymore
Thousands are dying everyday
And Thousands are being blown away
Bin Laden if you're out there
You know this war isn't fair
Everytime someone dies
The tears start to pour
Tears from the nation's eyes
And tears from this desert storm
Now I'm fighting on the frontline
Waiting for the enemy
I've been sitting here for a long time
And now someone's shooting at me
Someone sounded the alarm
There's no response and we're doing our best
A bullet just skimmed my arm
And one just hit me in the chest
Welcome to reality...this is war
It's not playtime anymore
Thousands are dying everyday
And Thousands are being blown away
Bin Laden if you're out there
You know this war isn't fair
Everytime someone dies
The tears start to pour
Tears from the nation's eyes
And tears from this desert storm
It felt like a bolt of lightning
And everything is happening so fast
The pain was unreal it was frightning
So bad I passed out into the past
Watching over my childhood memories
I was trying not to cry
My life flew by like a warm summer breeze
I'm sorry momma, but I'm gonna die
Welcome to reality...this is war
It's not playtime anymore
Thousands are dying everyday
And Thousands are being blown away
Bin Laden if you're out there
You know this war isn't fair
Everytime someone dies
The tears start to pour
Tears from the nation's eyes
And tears from this desert storm
