Can’t brainwash a conscience

Verse

Soldiers do what they’re told to do.

That’s the way they’re trained.

They dare not question their orders

It’s drilled in their brains.

Murders just a word for killing

That civilians use.

Their jobs to carry out orders

That cowards refuse.

Chorus

Can’t brain wash a conscience.

Can’t undo a crime.

It’s gonna haunt the soul

Till the end of time.

Can’t forget the bloodshed

Can’t undo what’s done.

Can’t brainwash a conscience.

Can’t un-fire a gun.

Verse

Soldiers do what they’re told to do.

If they don’t they’ll die.

It takes a callous mind in war

For men to survive.

In a war you learn to forget

About honor’s code.

Pity is like an IED

Ready to explode.

Chorus

Can’t brain wash a conscience.

Can’t undo a crime.

It’s gonna haunt the soul

Till the end of time.

Can’t forget the bloodshed

Can’t undo what’s done.

Can’t brainwash a conscience.

Can’t un-fire a gun.

Bridge

We don’t need condemnation.

Our conscience has that job.

Still picture angry mothers

Hold their sons and sob.

Verse

That cowards refuse.

Chorus

Can’t brain wash a conscience.

Can’t undo a crime.

It’s gonna haunt the soul

Till the end of time.

Can’t forget the bloodshed

Can’t undo what’s done.

Can’t brainwash a conscience.

Can’t un-fire a gun.
