"Fallen Soldiers"

1) Some of them might be fallen but they are never forgotten,
All of these nights they're running the gauntlet just tryin to get the job done.
2) And what do they get when they come home, waiting to greet them?
An open armed city, televised, we wanna see em.
3) The bikers and busses escorted by la policia,
The banners of "welcome home" & "we love u" line the theater.
4) Oops, I mean the reception, so glad ur back. Keep smiling!
In every one of their eyes, look close, u see em dying.
5) When all of the cameras STOP.....& the city goes back to sleeping,
"Remember the soldiers" banners are down but we have more if you need them.
6) It's dog and pony show and everyone knows the reality harshly,
That all of these warriors changing location is gonna be partly
7) Like climbing up Everest, never this precedence (in) our lifetimes,
How do u ADAPT from waking up STRAPPED to sitting BACK & watching NIGHTLINE?
8) No answers for these heroes even tho we all sympathize,
We're a nation of Broken Soldiers......welcome home guys.

1) We love you, know that, and we're so glad to show that
In everything we do, your sacrifice hasn't blown past
2) No blast, no stress you can rest your vest now
No more sidearm for bathroom breaks, time to veg out.
3) Or smoke out or booze up, and the tabs on me,
No doubt, You've done enough to keep all of us free.
4) Drop ya shoulders don't mind your Periferie
Tough times are behind its time for you to be free. Thank you.
