There's blood on the streets again todayRELATED: "Washington Mourns U.S. Troops Killed in Afghan Helicopter Crash."
All the people dying what a price we have to pay
Around the world they're fightin'
It's not that far away
feel the darkness
Can we change our ways?
[Chorus:]
We live in the American zone
Free of fear in our American home
Swimmin pool and digital phone
What do we say when Johnny comes home
Johnny just got back from war today
Beruit weekend, the powder keg
He was 20 years old and he lost both of his legs
We're all really sorry today
[Chorus]
What do we say
What do we say
What do we say
When Johnny comes home
and he lost his legs.

What Do We Say When Johnny Comes Home?
One of my favorite anti-war songs, from T.S.O.L., mainly because it's so haunting on the apathy. Joe Wood sings on "American Zone," during a period when Jack Grisham had left the band. I really enjoyed the studio recording, but I don't see it online, so just turn this up on your tablet:
