Why Oh Why
 

Why Mom and Dad why
Was I destined and born into this life to die
This terrorist war makes so many just cry
Our awesome America may be going to war
And now I may cease to exist no more
I grew up and finished school with a 3.5
I am so proud to be alive
I am 18 now and so ready for life
Find someone special and make her my wife
Our job market and economy is really bad
All of this really makes me mad and sad
I joined the army for income stability
And now I must face the ugly reality
Of fighting a war in a foreign country
And possibly become a statistical casualty
You see Mom, Dad, I want to live
I have strong morals, education, lots to give
I am too young to go off and die
Why Mom and Dad, Why Oh Why!!!!!
