My Name is Joe Oliver - Johnny Crashed

My name is Joe Olliver and I once was just like you
I grew up color-blinded by that red, white, and blue
Got myself a sweetheart, learned to play the game
Cursed those towel headed niggers
And called those faggots names

I joined the army when I could it seemed the thing to do
I ain't had many options and all the good ones passed right through
So now I'm headed back this way from years of sand and stone
Hoping I can find some peace
In my bloody home

I did some things I shouldn't have
Like soldiers always do
Everyone's the enemy that much I always knew
And killings not so difficult if you don't know their names
You just pull the trigger, praise the lord, and find someone to blame

But something snapped inside of me and now it's all so real
Their treachery has been revealed and now I finally feel
So now I'm headed back this way from years of sand and stone
Hoping I can find some peace
In my bloody home

Oh, what did you do to me
And watch now as I set my conscience free

I see things a little different now all that lying takes its toll
It used to be all fairy tales but now it bleeds my soul
One thousand of us every month can't stand it anymore
So we end our time in this world as bloodstains on the floor

Apologies to all my friends, regrets to family
Kisses for my baby boy I hope he's not like me
Cuz now I'm headed back this way from years of sand and stone
Hoping I can find some peace
In my bloody home

Oh, in my bloody home
All that's true is gone
Oh, in my bloody home
I'm just one more bloody pawn
Oh, in my bloody home
Please forgive me what I've done

My name was Joe Olliver and I once was just like you
I grew up color-blinded by that red, white, and blue
