Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President
I know you probably wont read this
Its an election year
And the troops over here
You dont need us
You said the war here is over
But more of us die every day
And I dont know why we are fighting
Is it all just a lie anyway?
Like they say

See, Mr. President
Ive got a wife in Wisconsin
Though I write every day
Ive been so long away
Ive forgotten
When I close my eyes I cant see her
Its only this war in my head
And I try to bury my fear
But I always carry the dead
Carry them home

CHORUS:
And I have seen better men
Fight to the bitter end
Following orders from you
And I dont think its treason
To ask for a reason
When nothing youve told us is true

Please, Mr. President
I love my country completely
I signed up to serve
And I think I deserve what Im seeking
Am I just a photo op to you?
A powerful resource to spend?
A Thanksgiving stunt for the papers?
A means to a personal end?
Oh let this end

REPEAT CHORUS:
Cause I have seen better men
Fight to the bitter end
Following orders from you
And I dont think its treason
To ask for a reason
When nothing youve told us is true

Dear Mr. President
I know you probably wont read this
