The Vet

Was born into a country, got nature in my hands
I lost a lot of friends now, I need a new plan
It's time to go to war now
Leave my wife and my family
It's not the perfect situation
It's the way that it's meant to be

I go off to the desert, got strangers by my side
A great job I wanted, so keep these men alive
Stumble across the woman, she leads me by the hand
It's not a weight off my shoulders
These politicians don't understand

There was a time, I can't quite remember
This being justified
Many nights singing live forever
We felt so alive

Sailed back across the ocean, these faces all look the same
There was a hundred thousand people
They were calling out my name
They took me to the courtyard
They hung me at the door
You see the situation's all changed, cause
They don't love me anymore

There was a time, I can't quite remember
This being justified
Many nights singing live forever
We felt so alive

There was a time, I can't quite remember
This being justified
Many nights singing live forever
We felt so alive

There was a time, I can't quite remember
This being justified
Many nights singing live forever
We felt so alive
