A Veterans Song |
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 |
(McCafferty, Sweet, Charlton, Agnew) |
