Victory Stinks

Lyrics

Ow! The police pulled up to a trailer park family quarrel A door flew open and a rifleman killed a cop Wrestled to the ground, screaming "let me die" Woke up in jail, no one asked him why "I was watching Private Ryan on my tv The whole damn war came back to me" (Chorus) Yeah Yeah Yeah Victory stinks V.A. hospital, nurses push their way through the halls Patients on the floor, wondering when they'll ever get a room A panicky voice comes on the intercom We're held hostage in the privacy room [patriotic victim?] we refused to see Says "listen mother fucker you poisoned me" My child and me (Chorus) [?] [?] We're just pretending it ain't there at all Look at the signs in a town that you choose Homeless veteran, "will work for food" [Fighting for the oil pig's Right to party?] [For nobody, just to save your buddies?] [Sent by the same Daddy Warbuck's kids Who bought their way out of Vietnam's fields?] Insurgents everywhere Can't tell who the enemy is I.E.D.s, highways of death Sooner or later flash bombs begin Gulf war syndrome is all in your mind So take your medal, join the welfare line We're lucky with all the experts we've trained We've only had one Timothy McVeigh So far anyway (Chorus)
