|
The bars are crowded with wasted youth |
|
You just went, you didn't know the truth |
|
You don't know that kid when you look back |
|
You remember the music, paint it black |
|
You had a brother in the movement and he burned his card |
|
He's got a job in the white house, ain't life hard |
|
You came back a hero on a stolen horse |
|
You say you don't fit in, you can't stay the course |
|
I may be right, don't care if i'm wrong |
|
It's a veteran's song |
|
I may be right, don't care if i'm wrong |
|
It's a veteran's song |
|
The band paraded playing 'oh gung ho'' |
|
Your country needs you, you've got to go |
|
When you came over they said 'soldier go back' |
|
When you came home they put you on the rack |
|
Between agent orange and the jungle and fear |
|
You're just surviving to get out of here |
|
You smoke some more herb and you keep your head down |
|
Could be your number is on the next round. |
