You watch your war from TV screens
Immune to pain and human screams
You saw destruction from the sky
but never once viewed those who died
The haunting sight of blood soaked sand
That never burdened TV Land
You watched our nation swallow shit
and made the war a prime-time hit
The war was just a passing fad
Just yellow ribbons
nothing bad
No need to watch the senseless slaughter
of loving mothers, sons, and daughters
The haunting sight of blood soaked sand
will never burden TV land
You watched our nation swallow shit
and made the war a prime-time hit
