WTF

Hurry up and eat
We roll out in 20
Tonight just doesn't seem right
The feeling won't shake
Can't smoke enough cigarettes
Why are these vehicles fucking with me
I shine my spotlight, he pulls over
The other stomps on the gas
Oh fuck, another car bomb
I shoot
Someone shouts, This one's dead
At camp people shake my hand
I'm just upset and pissed
It was a doctor
The investigation said it was done by the books
I ask myself, What the fuck kind of war is this
