[00:03.630] | Hard times coming home now, can’t get your feet on the ground |
[00:09.910] | Got some issues, and no one wants you around |
[00:14.980] | Barely sleeping and you can’t get through to the VA on the phone |
[00:21.250] | No one’s hiring, and no one wants to give you a loan |
[00:27.200] | And everyone else is carrying on just like they’ve always done before |
[00:33.060] | You’ve been home for a coupla years now buddy but you’re |
[00:37.220] | Still fighting the war |
[00:44.400] | Flashback to Fallujah, lost another best friend |
[00:50.220] | Three tours of duty and you wonder when it’s all gonna end |
[00:55.930] | Body’s broken and bone shattered, blood and dust in your mouth |
[01:02.190] | Gettin’ weary but you’re running with the few and the proud |
[01:08.030] | Sometimes you wonder why you went, You never wonder what you stayed on for |
[01:13.550] | You’ve been home for a coupla years now buddy but you’re |
[01:17.720] | Still fighting the war |
[01:21.390] | Men go off to war for a hundred reasons |
[01:26.600] | But they all come home with the same demons |
[01:33.230] | Some you can keep at bay for a while |
[01:36.980] | And some will pin you to the floor |
[01:39.800] | You’ve been home for a coupla years now buddy but you’re |
[01:43.360] | Still fighting the war |
[01:49.010] | The bedspread is fraying, faded and tearing apart |
[01:56.220] | Two strangers, holding each other in the dark |
[02:02.280] | Tell me what were you dreaming, How did you think it would end? |
[02:08.350] | How many heroes are scattered out into the wind? |
[02:14.080] | And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes and slamming doors |
[02:20.940] | You’ve been home for a coupla years now buddy but you’re |
[02:26.150] | Still fighting the war |
