[SOJA, Alfred the MC - Promises and Pills lyrics]
In war, combat is so heavily prepared for
Returning home is something no one
Is really there for half the team is gone
And the half that makes it home
They gotta deal with the terrorism
In their skull
But there's a cure the government
Likes to hit them with
Prescribing promises and pills
But the side effects is no sleep, no peace
Looking for reasons for living as
The war moves on america the System
Reintegrate me, you made me a killer
Like you could trade me
For everything I've lost
And look how you made me make me
Think about me taking my own life
When I remember what went down
And you say that I'm the reason
For the freedom of this land
So I land in their backyard, I've
Got your rifle in my hand, and
They defend themselves, you know of
Course I do the same, so
We go kill each other while
You go about your day
Reintegrate me, you made me a killer
Like you could trade me
For everything I've lost
And look how you made me make me
Think about me taking my own life
When I remember what went down
And I don't sleep at night and
I will never be the same
And my wife is terrified by
These details I can't explain
And my soul is beat to shit and
Half my friends are dead and gone
For all these fucking games you play
We pay the price with our own blood
Reintegrate me, you made me a killer
Like you could trade me
For everything I've lost
And look how you made me make me
Think about me taking my own life
When I remember what went down
Put a warrior in hell, now he's finally back
With images in his brain of every damn attack
Every bomb
Every friend that's never coming home
Every innocent life taken
For reasons unknown then we abandon them
The same ones that did all the killing
We no longer deal with them
Just their spouses and children
And the memories in their head
From every damn mission
And the war moves on America the System
Reintegrate me, you made me a killer
Like you could trade me
For everything I've lost
And look how you made me make me
Think about me taking my own life
When I remember what went down
Returning home is something no one
Is really there for half the team is gone
And the half that makes it home
They gotta deal with the terrorism
In their skull
But there's a cure the government
Likes to hit them with
Prescribing promises and pills
But the side effects is no sleep, no peace
Looking for reasons for living as
The war moves on america the System
Reintegrate me, you made me a killer
Like you could trade me
For everything I've lost
And look how you made me make me
Think about me taking my own life
When I remember what went down
And you say that I'm the reason
For the freedom of this land
So I land in their backyard, I've
Got your rifle in my hand, and
They defend themselves, you know of
Course I do the same, so
We go kill each other while
You go about your day
Reintegrate me, you made me a killer
Like you could trade me
For everything I've lost
