	Story Behind the Song Friendly Fire: This song was inspired by an event that happened during the Gulf War. In one of the alliances’ ‘surgical hits’, as they called them, one of their smart bombs killed two soldiers from the alliance. This was admittedly a mistake,... a mystery. That night in the news, the president of the United States held a news conference and said that they had died in Friendly Fire. I remember the words tearing through me and wondering if the mothers of the dead soldiers were finding any comfort in those words. Then I thought of all the innocent civilians; the sons and daughters, mothers and fathers and so on who were dying in those targets... The song is not attached to the Gulf war though; the words were carefully chosen to make the song timeless. Perhaps we have events in our not to distant future that will give the song strong meaning once again. I wrote this before 9/11. Lyrics Friendly Fire Marc “Marcus” Dupuis Don’t worry, it’s only friendly fire Don’t worry, no, don’t worry, it’s only friendly fire In the flash of light, there will be no pain When the roof caves in and your brother dies When the walls fall in and your mother cries It was only friendly fire…it’s only friendly fire… Don’t worry, it’s only friendly fire All the soldiers in the trenches… They are wondering why They are there in the trenches Waiting for the call…of duty (Bis) Waiting for the call for fighting in foreign places Bombing sacred spaces Erasing all those faces Does anybody know what for Don’t want to see another tragedy… Don’t want to see military ecstasy Nobody wants a place, where, nobody wants to be Let’s turn to inner space, change this reality There’s a lot of money to be made at war…Let’s hope that’s not what it’s for Does anybody really know what it’s for… ‘Cause all our friends and family They’re wondering why…we are there, in the trenches Waiting for the call, of duty (Bis) Waiting for the call, for fighting in foreign places Bombing sacred spaces… Erasing all those faces Does anybody know what for, Does anybody know the score Does anybody know the score …to this war… to this war……. Outo is the same as intro.
