This valley's been reborn and died so many times that I can't cry For all the trailer parks and the liquor stores around The people here have lost their spark And the streetlights don't come on at dark And when the light is gone you hardly hear a sound It's Veterans Day but there's no parade There's sunshine but there ain't no shade Waiting around I've got time to kill There's a sucker here but I can't see Who it is, so I guess it's me I've always been an underdog and I always will Ed's on disability but you know he seems just fine to me Good enough to bet on the dogs down at the track He used to work for union pay Operating lifts that hauled away What this town made before the fade to black The people here are simple still without the jobs at the mill It's quitting time before the days begun There's jobs around but they don't pay Enough to keep your eye from straying We lost a lot but I'm not sure what we won The fence maker's a busy man and the shelter does what it can It's hard to lend a hand when it's clenched up like a fist The TV ads beat us down And we'd vote if we could get off the ground I'll ask you tomorrow you can tell me what I missed It's Veterans Day but there's no parade There's sunshine but there ain't no shade Waiting around I've got time to kill There's a sucker here but I can't see Who it is, so I guess it's me I've always been an underdog and I always will A career in mind well, get in line Or you can have two at a time Try to piece together a little life I don't recognize the American dream It's nightmare when it runs out of steam Uncle Sam is out cold and under the knife It's Veterans Day but there's no parade There's sunshine but there ain't no shade Waiting around I've got time to kill There's a sucker here but I can't see Who it is, so I guess it's me I've always been an underdog and I always will I've always been an underdog and I always will I've always been an underdog and I always will
