iraq - mary gauthier lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was an army mechanic
i worked with the men
i worked on my back
i tried to fit in
torque wrenches and ratchets
multi-meters and scales
grease on my face
grease on my hands
grease under my nails

[chorus]
and it was so hard to see ’til it attacked
my enemy wasn’t iraq

[verse 2]
soldiers bartered and traded
that’s the way our world worked
trading favors for favors
the sand and the dirt
what i wouldn’t give them
they’d try to take
when i refused them
they made me pay

[chorus]
and it was so hard to see ’til it attacked
but my enemy wasn’t iraq

[harmonica solo]

[verse 3]
i stood my ground
i didn’t give in
i drew a line
again and again
when they whistled and whispered
when the wind kicked up dust
i looked to the sky
asked the lord why
and had no one to trust

[chorus]
and it was so hard to see ’til it attacked
but my enemy wasn’t iraq

[outro]
a salute and a wink
a little pat on the back
my enemy wasn’t iraq
