lyrics

Billy was a kid in Chelsea, Alabama
With a horse named General Lee
Sun up, sun down
He rode that horse around
He kept that colt so clean
But they shipped Billy off to war
Early in 2003
Billy was a kid in Chelsea, Alabama
He had just turned 19

A group of rich white men
Had a group of rich white friends
All their scheming paid off
When their buddy became the president
Those oil fields are up for grabs
We gotta get 'em while we can
In the wake of the towers collapse
They hatched their evil plan

We need to get troops on the ground
Over in the middle east
Protect our corporate interests and
Boost our weapons industry
The American people can't know the truth
Better think of a story
The talking heads in the media
Will sell it convincingly

They said a man in Iraq
Has got some poisonous gas
He's gonna use it, that's a fact,
Just like he did in the past
But see this man had nothing to do
With the 9/11 attacks
This old man so far away
Might have some poisonous gas

So we heard every single day
Get ready to go to war
If we don't, we just wont be safe
Like we never heard that before
Uncle Sam needs every man for the
Army, Navy, and Marine Corps
So it was, every single day
Get ready to go to war

Billy was a kid in Chelsea, Alabama
But he left to serve the USA
Kissed his mama goodbye
They sent Bill 6000 miles away
Off to fight in the desert heat
Every night and every day
Billy was a kid in Chelsea, Alabama
But he left to serve the USA

Billy made it two full tours
On the third his luck ran out
On the Euphrates River Bank
He heard the infidel shout
An IED took out both his knees
He was thrown clear back to the ground
He saw his legs twenty feet away
And he passed out

Billy was a kid in Chelsea, Alabama
With a horse named General Lee
Sun up, sun down that horse still runs around
Billy thinks of what could be
If they didn't start that war
Back in 2003
Billy was a kid in Chelsea, Alabama
He just turned 23
