In the recess of Babylon I try to see some hope Laugh that off again as I light another smoke Hear echo laughs of brother friend throughout in theater time Windy city pity fades away I find no peace of mind So away to the VA they say can't bring myself to go You got to talk it out my friend the bottle she says no Again they say it's not too late to purge your psyche slate Rather stare into the barrel of my loaded 38 We are your crooked drunken sons We don't answer to anyone Thought the war was over But a new one just begun What we all went through has changed us all for good Made us old before our time like our fathers knew it would Seen so many brothers cut down in their prime Drinks brings back the replay almost every single night Delilah's turn to sadr city everytime I go Campaign debates they always end in screams or body blows Get tossed out and move onto another haunt to try Still bleeding on the southside out of my f**ing mind We are your crooked drunken sons We don't answer to anyone Thought the war was over But a new one just begun Hey you only know if you go inside a combat zone Otherwise just shout your mouth and leave my ears alone Got no time for experts who never packed the gear Rear echelon pogues who stay back in the rear I open up just to shut it down Been home for quite a while a stranger in chi-town Getting worse this irish curse the gla** is o so dry I am dead on the inside out of my f**ing mind We are your crooked drunken sons We don't answer to anyone Thought the war was over But a new one just begun We are your crooked drunken sons So much is lost and never won Thought the war was over but a new one just begun You don't understand me You can't understand me Don't you psycho an*lyze me Don't you dare criticize me You don't understand You won't understand Throw no pity my way Will bear and grin it my way The hows and the whys Who lives and who dies Haunts me to the very core Can't take it anymore Can't take it anymore We are your crooked drunken sons We don't answer to anyone Thought the war was over But a new one just begun We are your crooked drunken sons So much is lost and never won Thought the war was over but a new one just begun I thought the war was over but a new one just begun
