Shock and Awe

How are we going to win this fight Let's try shock and awe Let's rain on them missiles and bombs That's how we'll win this war A soldier walks in the rubble All that's left of this town He feels the tears well up in his eyes As he stands and look around He sees bodies lying there Of people once so proud Of this town where once they lived They seem to shout out loud Why did you do this to us? What did we do to you? Why did you maim and kill Us and our children too? He hears a whimper sees a tiny hand Reach out through the rubble in vain In that hand is a raggedy doll It fills his soul with pain He knows that a child is lying there He tears at the brick and the stone But he knows that the child is dying there And that she will die lost and alone The soldier drops his weapon He sadly walks away He vows to never to fight again He shouts we cant win this way Yes we can win a battle Yes we can win a war But its not worth the cost of the victory If we use shock and awe
