lyrics

The sun goes down on my home as the day passes by
I’m out on a street under a darkening sky
Thinking of friends that went to war
Afghanistan and Iraq Will they ever come back

Yeah they say these are the days that we need to take a stand Yeah they say these are the ways that we really should defend
It’s easy to say when you’re out of the way of the firefights and the endless ways
to be killed or maimed or taken down in flames, for the gun salute to echo past your days

I talk a walk and look around
See families without hope
Got no job got no money except for dealers selling dope
Newspapers cover windows, cars line the street the economy’s down we all take the heat
