NAZARETH - A Veteran's Song lyrics

rate me

The bars are crowded with wasted youth<br>You just went, you didn't know the truth<br>You don't know that kid when you look back<br>You remember the music, paint it black<br><br>You had a brother in the movement and he burned his card<br>He's got a job in the white house, ain't life hard<br>You came back a hero on a stolen horse<br>You say you don't fit in, you can't stay the course<br><br>I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong<br>It's a veteran's song<br>I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong<br>It's a veteran's song<br><br>The band paraded playing oh gung ho<br>Your country needs you, you've got to go<br>When you came over they said soldier go back<br>When you came home they put you on the rack<br><br>Between agent orange and the jungle and fear<br>You're just surviving to get out of here<br>You smoke some more herb and you keep your head down<br>Could be your number is on the next round.<br><br>(mccafferty, sweet, charlton, agnew)<br>Publishing copyright: m.a.c.s. music<br>Copyright 1986 nazareth (dunfermline) ltd., dunfermline
