D G
Still fighting the war
Flashback to Falluja
Lost another best friend
Three tours of duty and you're wondering when it's all gonna end
Bodies broken and bones shattered
Blood and dust in your mouth
Getting' weary but you're runnin' with the few and the proud
Sometimes you wonder why you went,
You don't wonder what you stayed on for
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy
but you're
Still fighting the war

D G
Still fighting the war
The bedspread is frayin'
Faded and tearin' apart
Two strangers holdin' each other in the dark
Tell me, what were you dreamin'?
How did you think it would end?
How many heroes are scattered out into the wind?
And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes and slammin' doors
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy
but you're still fighting the war
