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.
