American Soldier

I am an American Soldier
And I'm good at what I do
But I'm fighting for a president
Who has not got a clue

Each day our numbers dwindle
Our moral is getting low
We won the way
But lost the peace
And got no place to go

Bush sits there in his office
Throwing orders by the score
While our families mourn their loved ones
He sends out even more

Our troops go in
Our dead pile up
It's the ghost of Vietnam
George bush sits in his office
And he don't give a dam
