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) |
