Back To Iraq Lyrics

We was part of the slaughter they called Desert Storm
We maimed and we murdered
In the name of "Norm"
Now As civilian and purpose I lack
I'm getting ready to go back to Iraq !

you're over there we're I'm over here
We had lasagna and plenty of beer
Learning the tools and the tricks of the trade
then I come home and I can't get laid

Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
I'M BACK!

You taught me how to kill
You pumped me full of drugs
How can you wonder
Why I became a thug ?

Raining death on people
Firing into crowds
Over there I got a big bright medal
But here it's not allowed

I'm going
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
I'M BACK!

now i'm on the streets - I look like a slob
My skin is corroding - I can't get a job
I did my duty - I served my nation
Now I can't even afford medication

You dirty bastards you made me this way
But I'm locked and loaded - now you'll have to pay
Back to Iraq and my life is a wreck
I wanna kill the President
But I'll settle for a check

Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
I'M BACK, YEAH!

Have You Seen Me?

We was part of the slaughter they called Desert Storm
We maimed and we murdered
In the name of "Norm"
Now As civilian and purpose I lack
I'm getting ready to go back to Iraq !

you're over there we're I'm over here
We had lasagna and plenty of beer
Learning the tools and the tricks of the trade
then I come home and I can't get laid

Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
I'M BACK!

You taught me how to kill
You pumped me full of drugs
How can you wonder
Why I became a thug ?

Raining death on people
Firing into crowds
Over there I got a big bright medal
But here it's not allowed

I'm going
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
I'M BACK!

now i'm on the streets - I look like a slob
My skin is corroding - I can't get a job

Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !
Back to Iraq !

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
