Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Shock and Awe Lyrics

Back in the days of shock and aweWe came to liberate them allHistory was the cruel judge of overconfidenceBack in the days of shock and aweBack in the days of "mission accomplished"Our chief was landing on the deckThe sun was setting on a golden photo opBack in the days of "mission accomplished"Thousands of bodies in the groundBrought home in boxes to a trumpet's soundNo one sees them coming home that wayThousands buried in the groundThousands of children scarred for lifeMillions of tears for a soldier's wifeBoth sides are losing nowHeaven takes them inThousands of children scarred for lifeWe had a chance to change our mindBut somehow wisdom was hard to findWe went with what we knew and now we can't go backBut we had a chance to change our mind.
