Vers 1:

you must have heard from
the conversation from the chopper
time to slaughter, gunner sounds really caught up,
asking for permission to fire, n light em up
saying theres AKs n RPGs, pilots lines them up

permission comes.. lights them up,
30 millimeter cannon ruggaduggadugga lots of dust
group sinks like theres some
kind of hole in the dust
someone crawls, fire again, third and a forth burst

clear.. wait for the dust to dissapear
someones alive, runs for safety but gunner clears
two rounds so near, legs give in for this cavalier
im sick to my stomach watching, didnt see a weapon here

and while circling the massacresite a minivan
rolls up to rescue tha man that lies on the ground
gunner names weapons begs like a child to engage again
bad luck for the kids on the passengerside, just sitting down

bad luck for the journalists in a warzone
bad luck for cameras looking like RPGs
bad luck for you, that they dont wanna deal with this
and kill u as the messenger instead and chase wikileaks

Chorus:

Weve seen this, were spreading the word of you manning *
we keep hopes up that they learn after the panic
and free you, and if all they say is true
doesnt matter to me, cuz if you did your a hero
if you didnt, your free!

B Manning
we keep hopes up that they learn after the panic
and free you, and if all they say is true
doesnt matter to me, cuz if you did your a hero
if you didnt, your free! yeah
cuz if u did your a hero…

Vers 2:

i cant imagine the thrill of getting the evidence out
how convinced you must have been inside to pull this thing off
riskin your job, certainlly, riskin it all
maybe its worth riskin it for the world we live on

likely thoughts of a hero that saw something wrong
actions of true heart if im not raised very wrong
world has to know, if nothing change
young soldiers play real guns like tv games over civilian heads

so wake up gouvernment of USA
you dont make the world safe with hate-creating mistakes
and you should treasure these lessons whisleblowers creates
dont put price on their heads just give em massive creds

if your rightous, that is, tha hypes almost dead
but you can capitalize the most of this knowlage instead
wanna try and convince a country about your rights and ways
you must be nothing alike the forces u try to erase…
cuz then its all to waste

Chorus… We¨ve seen this…

yeah… and tell me…

Vers 3

where would we be?
if noone stuck up
exposing corruption
warcrimes, fuckups?

where would we be?
if noone revealed
misuse of powers, what world would we see?

where would we be?
if noone thought truth has the key to ever solve a conflict for real?

we must discuss the same thing (same thing, all sides)
thats why this world needs Manning
cuz some like to cover up their flaws
some shouts at someone else,
some yells for Assange, but..
mobilecams took us live anyway
we all gotta behave, or get exposed the next day
todays D Ellsberg just might be B Manning
and Right Livelyhood Awards probably seen Manning too

Chorus 2x… We¨ve seen this…
