Chickenhawk

from For Louisiana by Rod Gator

lyrics

Well I don’t wanna die for the con man 
No I don’t wanna go and take Fallujah again  
I’d rather be working for the city and that minimum wage 
Instead of pacing back and forth like a dog in a cage  
 
Well the older ones ignite it  
While the younger ones fight it 
Young men dying while they squawk  
Chickenhawk  
 
My generation been at war nearly twenty years  
A never ending death rattle that nobody hears  
Nothing but empty shells, yellow ribbons on the wall 
Another empty expression down at the legion hall  
 
Well the older ones ignite it  
While the younger ones fight it 
Young men dying while they squawk  
Chickenhawk  
Chickenhawk 
 
Brother give me a sign brother give me your word  
Give a voice to the voiceless, the ones that go unheard  
Truth is they don’t give a shit, lord knows they never will 
I’m just another number, he’s just another kill 
 
Well the older ones ignite it  
While the younger ones fight it 
Young men dying while they squawk  
 
Watch the older ones scatter 
While the younger ones riot  
Young men dying while they squawk 
 
Catch the world on fire 
We’ll be the first to ignite it 
Old men dying while they squawk 
 
Chickenhawk 
Chickenhawk 
Chickenhawk
