I can't forget what seemed like yesterday   the memories of war they just won't fade      see through their lies      the years i was there   it seems so far away   everyone tried to ignore it   saying it'll go away   it never went away   no matter how much      we pretend   the lives that were lost   the wounds will never mend      see through their lies      the living envyig the dead, many   will never know   it's hard to believe in a cheap thing called hope   slept under mosquito nets, we used kerosene lamps   i remember the discomfort, the air was so damp      see through their lies      at times i couldn't even breathe 'cause the nights were so hot   i remember scratching my arms til they almost bled   they kept telling me war never hurt anyone   it's all part of life   you got to take it if you want to be strong      see through their lies      they were only lying to themselves 'cause the war is still goin on   and my heart sank for last that's gone
