    Story Behind the Song
    With the state of the world Today....I felt I had to put my 2 cents worth in

    Lyrics

    I was born an Army boy
    Daddy was a military Man
    Grand-Dad Fought in Wold War II
    Daddy Fought in Viet Nam

    I Officially Joined the service
    The Day I turned 18
    I'm not sure that I chose this life
    this life I think chose me

    and I breezed my way through basic
    went on to join the marines
    was told I was a natural
    I guess war is in my genes

    Now there's a score to settle in another land
    Something we cannot ignore
    and like 2 generations before me
    I'm heading off to war

    and our president armed with with a microphone
    Gives the TV crew the nod
    "we'll make 'em pay the American Way
    with our Will and the Grace of God"

    Chorus

    I've come to do my duty
    to carry out the Plan
    My free will has brought me here
    I've got my guns in hand

    one thing I can't figure out
    that I don't Understand
    how can I spill another boys blood
    In the name of a Holy Man



    I don't sell myself a born again
    I'm just another fool
    My Mom read me the Bible
    and I know about the Golden Rule
    so don't tell me this is God's will
    and try to put it into light
    cause I refuse to use his name
    to justify my might

    and the Battlegrounds are ugly
    a kind of evil sacred place
    I'm God-damned good at what I do
    there's no saving face

    Chorus


    Jihaad in the Name of God
    and Jesus Christ is King
    the Protestants and Catholics
    fought about the same damn thing
    but don't worry about the lives you take
    or the blood upon your hands
    It's nothing compared to what's at stake
    and God will understand

    Chorus
    How can I spill another boy's blood
    In the name of a Holy Man
