Casualties of war; as I approach the barricade 
  Where's the enemy?  Who do I invade? 
  Bullets of Teflon, bulletproof vest rip 
  Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips 
  Cause I got a family that waits for my return 
  To get back home is my main concern 
  I'ma get back to New York in one piece 
  but I'm bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets 
  Sky lights up like fireworks blind me 
  Bullets, whistlin over my head remind me... 
  President Bush said attack 
  Flashback to Nam, I might not make it back 
  Missile hits the area, screams wake me up 
  from a war of dreams, heat up the M-16 
  Basic training, trained for torture 
  Take no prisoners, and I just caught ya 
  Addicted to murder, send more bodybags 
  They can't identify em, leave the nametags 
  I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor 
  Casualtys of war..
