Letter From Iraq Lyrics
B Company's pinned down under heavy fire
Underneath the palms there's improvised bombs
Because Jihad Johnny knows yankee is a liar
At the call to prayer Al Quaeda's on his knees
Isaac versus Ishmael, Allah versus Christ
Zarqawi's on the offense pickin' up the beat
Tom Cruise is on a sortie from a gulf love boat
Smart bombs are coming, see the children running
The dead, they are all laughing but we don't get the joke
At the call to prayer Al Quaeda's on his knees
Isaac versus Ishmael, Allah versus Christ
Zarqawi's on the offense pickin' up the beat
It's getting rough over there, they say the whole thing's fucked
I wish the boys were back, at least I know they're still alive
Another letter from Iraq
All that's left of bullet Billy is a pair of bloody boots
His mom is on the phone, his girl is all alone
We all stand in the rain for a 21 gun salute
i can't believe no one has commented on ths song yet. it's pretty obvious what it's about. they're saying the war is pointless. i'm guessing bullet Billy is one of their friends who died in the war, and that's saying that the war tears lives apart.
This song is pieces of a letter sent to the Souls by a soldier stationed in Iraq.
This song was actually written by a Sniper who was fighting in Iraq (not on his correspondence)
another song "Last Letter Home" by Dropkick Murphys (Warrior's Code) was written based on correspondence from a Sargeant who was stationed in Iraq before he died.
My new favorite song by Bouncing Souls. I like how they don't specifically pick a side by saying the war is right or wrong. They just kinda say that both of the sides that are fighting the war are wrong and say how the war is just really messed up.
