Shock and Awe

NEIL YOUNG

Back in the days of shock and awe
We came to liberate them all
History was the cruel judge of over-confidence
Back in the days of shock and awe

Back in the days of "mission accomplished"
Our chief was landing on the deck
The sun was setting on a golden photo op
Back in the days of "mission accomplished"

Thousands of bodies in the ground
Brought home in boxes to a trumpet's sound
No one sees them coming home that way
Thousands buried in the ground

Thousands of children scarred for life
Millions of tears for a soldier's wife
Both sides are losing now
Heaven takes them in
Thousands of children scarred for life

We had a chance to change out mind
But some how wisdom was hard to find
We went with what we knew and now we can't go back
But we had a chance to change our mind.
