Dear Mr. Fantasy, play us a tune, Something that makes us all happy Do anything to take us out of this gloom Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy You are the one who can make us all laugh, But doing that, you break out in tears Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had We wouldn't have known you all these years. Yea.
Well uncle Sam's saying "be a man." Cause he don't understand all the thoughts, running thru my head on the day we land. He sayin do it for your country, they need a hand. They started this war, we just want to see it end We in enemy land, hearin bombs n sirens. Till our lives is lost, baby mom is cryin. And if I hesitate a second my squad is dying, When the shots are fired, it's the cost of trying. They hold guns worth less than an arrow While I'm sittin in this birds nest like a sparrow. Desert storm camo I'm dressed in apparel. Pocket full of hope, held breaths and a barrel. I can't sleep so I stand a wake. It's sad I'm more afraid of god then a hand grenade. Your man will lay em face down when the orders out I was taught kill em all let god sort em out.

Well I promised my girl I'd make it back alive. But she don't look at me the same when I ask "Am I?" I'm hearin bullets in the wind when its passing by. This post-traumatic stress won't ever let me laugh or cry. I ain't no decorated marine. Back home, only thing decorated a tree Just a home town heroes what I'm aiming to be But my homes ground zero, n it lays in defeat Uh, I'm constantly waking up in a cold instant. The wars over, but my thoughts are being told different I'm having vivid dreams thinking of those poor children Left for dead, I'm wishing I could go with em. Military mind, living too long alone. Highway of heroes so I bring em along the road, And pray for em. bring em to god n hope. Better days for someone to sing em a song that goes; Dear Mr. fantasy, what up.
