• the orders where clear handed to us
    Ground patrol hostile town
    The town has armed cuz they want us gone
    We all seemed to agree
    We left base
    Guns laded up
    A bunch of nervous kids thinking of the death approaching us
    Tell my friend said “o wait hold up turn left just trust me”

    Nah no way
    Not me no way
    I’m not gonna enter a death trap
    I won’t kill or be killed
    And when I get home I’m gonna work to bring the troops back home
    It’s a profit war don’t be fooled soldier you’re not alone
    So now its search and avoid, rules are ours not the generals

    We found a cave outside of town
    Safe from the mortars and sniper fire
    Pulled in there
    Played cards and relaxed
    Raped about our lives back in the states
    Not one of us died that day
    Never had to fire on a crowded group

    Nah no way
    Not me no way
    I’m not gonna enter a death trap
    I won’t kill or be killed
    And when I get home I’m gonna work to bring the troops back home
    It’s a profit war don’t be fooled soldier you’re not alone
    So now its search and avoid, rules are ours not the generals


    Every hour we’d call in
    Rev the engine and shout about
    Tell em we searched a couple guys
    Never found a thing
    Such a nice group of chaps
    Even taught some kids how to kick a ball

    Nah no way
    Not me no way
    I’m not gonna enter a death trap
    I won’t kill or be killed
    And when I get home I’m gonna work to bring the troops back home
    It’s a profit war don’t be fooled soldier you’re not alone
    So now its search and avoid, rules are ours not the generals

    At the end of the day we rolled back to base
    Laughing about how we spent the day
    “Wolfowitz wants to kill us with Obama”
    “Well they should come to Marjah and see”
    We aren’t liberating
    We’re invading, unjust war, occupation

    Nah no way
    Not me no way
    I’m not gonna enter a death trap
    I won’t kill or be killed
    And when I get home I’m gonna work to bring the troops back home
    It’s a profit war don’t be fooled soldier you’re not alone
    So now its search and avoid, rules are ours not the generals
