He's a lost soul walking these streets And people almost treat him As though hes got a disease It's easy just call the police and leave him Long as you don't gotta see him just lie to yourself And take pride in how you provide incredible levels of help But his tattered clothes are a story That matter more when you gather the fact that he's been abandoned before After the war when he Battled back a lack of a coping strategy Man, they might as well have dumped him in a cul-de-sac with a loaded magazine Frantically pacing His sanity fading This man's a tragedy waiting For politicians with fancy debating This cant be the way that We pass appreciation to vets that answered the call Just use 'em up and treat them like they don't matter at all And how sad is it how many battle a bottle habit From alcohol to pill-poppin' addicts it's problematic While penny-pinching politicians think they can solve it but dammit It's difficult to fix an issue if you don't have it Back to this man who sits now in a six by six cell Every minute he spends thinking is 60 seconds in Hell 'Cuz he can't help but remember the smell in the air The dirt and the burnin' metal The yelling, the shells everywhere The blood in the sand All that panic and having that gun in his hand The damage that something that traumatic can have on a man It's sad but it's true He's mentally battered and bruised, black and blue He's mad and I ain't even mad at him Just think of how bad it had to have been Imagine coming back to a folded flag instead of a friend And everybody says they understand But it's nothin' but lies When your brother gets gunned in half right in front of your eyes Then you can tell me how to recover in life I don't need advice from self-righteous do-gooders Too good to care for sacrifice In their eyes I'm just another useless shooter A student of war and you sure couldn't teach me Everything I've seen couldn't beat or defeat me Veni Vidi Vici I'm nearly uncontested yet I sit drunk under this bridge While everybody walks above me 'cuz this is how I've lived After homecoming After homecoming
