1,000 Ghost Soldiers
The count is now 1,000 on the death toll,
1,000 dreams are lost, 1,000 lost for a single greedy goal.
The thousandth winner of the contest, you get a free ride home.
On a plane in a box but making your journey all alone.
1,000 men and women have now disappeared from the earth,
Ashes of 1,000 Americans have now been dispersed.
1,000 sermons so far for loved ones who died,
1,000 fallen warriors for a "President" who lied.
Does this make you feel happy? Does it make you feel proud?
The country is silent, but the numbers speak loud.
1,000 passed on for Halliburton's sake,
1,000 men and women have now met their fate.
They say bring them on, but I don't see their children fight,
They think they can solve their problems with military might.
But standing up to their actions seems to go wrong,
Except we've given our silence for one year too long.
For billions too much of our tax-payer dollars,
For 1,000 too many of our soldiers regarded as simple squalor.
Our name has been tarnished, our country has been scarred,
1,000 deaths is our penalty, and that's only just so far.
1,000 spirits flying and soon 1,000 more,
1,000 families grieving in a single year. Can we afford to give Bush another four?
