| [00:21.777] |
We were here blowing out birthday cakes |
| [00:24.990] |
Riding our bikes, jumping in lakes |
| [00:27.404] |
Feeling butterflies on our first dates |
| [00:30.145] |
And stealing our old man's beer |
| [00:32.417] |
We were here back home in the home of the brave |
| [00:35.441] |
But the brave ain't home, they're an ocean away |
| [00:38.323] |
Doing their job, keeping us safe |
| [00:41.705] |
While we were here |
| [00:43.485] |
They were there, fighting back on the front lines |
| [00:46.439] |
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise |
| [00:49.478] |
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear |
| [00:54.378] |
They were there in the name of a hometown |
| [00:57.198] |
Of a last name that was passed down |
| [00:59.948] |
Every day, every night, every moment we were here |
| [01:05.212] |
They were there |
| [01:06.412] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [01:10.652] |
They were there |
| [01:11.803] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [01:16.261] |
We were here saying the Pledge of Allegiance |
| [01:19.455] |
Repeating those words, not knowing their meaning |
| [01:22.341] |
Taking for granted all our freedoms |
| [01:25.356] |
In the land of the free |
| [01:27.172] |
We were here ******** about minimum wage |
| [01:30.420] |
Splitting ourselves into red and blue states |
| [01:33.173] |
And still sat down, hot food on the plate |
| [01:35.683] |
Yeah, while we were here |
| [01:37.982] |
They were there, fighting back on the front lines |
| [01:40.872] |
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise |
| [01:43.916] |
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear |
| [01:48.759] |
They were there in the name of a hometown |
| [01:51.614] |
Of a last name that was passed down |
| [01:54.524] |
Every day, every night, every moment we were here |
| [01:59.662] |
They were there |
| [02:00.876] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [02:05.341] |
They were there |
| [02:06.383] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [02:10.852] |
They were there |
| [02:13.826] |
Giving everything they got |
| [02:16.062] |
Yeah, they were there |
| [02:19.079] |
Some came home in a pinewood box |
| [02:21.611] |
With those stars and stripes on top |
| [02:27.276] |
They were there, fighting back on the front lines |
| [02:29.964] |
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise |
| [02:33.204] |
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear |
| [02:37.962] |
They were there in the name of a hometown |
| [02:40.840] |
Of a last name that was passed down |
| [02:43.694] |
Every day, every night, every moment we were here |
| [02:49.048] |
They were there |
| [02:50.027] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [02:54.385] |
They were there |
| [02:55.465] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [03:00.627] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [03:06.375] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
