American Zen - Friendly Fire Lyrics

Bullets, bombs, machine gun fire
Soldiers scream in pain napalm fire
Death surrounds you must fight back
Should you retreat or attack?
Your gunstock soaks up a tear
You no longer tremble with fear
You didn't know he was hiding there
Your body convulses you wanna vomit somewhere
But it can't be here - no not now
They're still shooting at you from the trees
Your eyes betray your confusion - how
Will you escape? Or tonight freeze?
Can't stop to think of him nothing to say
Maybe it was someone else he got in the way
It's not my fault he stood up in front of me
I was aiming at the enemy
Can't stop to think of him nothing to say
Maybe it was someone else he got in the way
It's not my fault he stood up in front of me
I was aiming at the enemy
What do I say? What do I do?
How do I explain I shot him through?
From this bad dream I must wake up
To start this day again there's no excuse I can make up
To right this wrong give back a life
He had a child he had a wife
Will they hate me? Forever scorn?
Oh God I wish I'd never been born
Can't stop to think of him nothing to say
Maybe it was someone else he got in the way
It's not my fault he stood up in front of me
I was aiming at the enemy
I was aiming at the enemy
I was aiming at the enemy
