Timeline

The President's going to end the war.

End of 2014, 2014.

13 years fixing stucco to a wall.

Still it all falls down, all falls down.

I remember when it was a little war,

Just 4 years ago

30,000 foolish souls

There to make a difference.

The only difference is 50,000 more souls

And a few who art in heaven.

But soon we'll have an end to this,

A newfound peace, newfound peace

Only drones remote controlled

And military police.

As they stand up, we can stand down,

We all fall down, all fall down.

'Til next engagement draws us in

The sheriff's back in town.

In 2 1/2 years a baby's born

Learns to crawl, toddles drooling

2 1/2 years more he goes from bawling

Babbling sounds to words and schooling

2 1/2 years we'll be rid of this

The promises & optimism

2 1/2 years they'll lie to us

To justify their next decision

They've given us a timeline

Drawn into the sand

But everyone who's lived in this desert

Knows Allah's in command.

Time has the upper hand.
