Friends In The Armed Forces - Thursday[00:00:00]
There's a purple heart on the stars and stripes tonight[00:00:29]
It's pinned to the chest of the latest liar[00:00:34]
And if you try to speak your mind[00:00:39]
They tell you keep it to yourself[00:00:42]
You got friends in the armed forces[00:00:44]
They wanna know which side you're on[00:00:50]
Doesn't matter cause we'll all be off[00:00:52]
To train to fight[00:00:55]
Disregard our human rights[00:00:58]
To play the part[00:01:00]
The consciense of the damned[00:01:03]
You say you're defending me[00:01:05]
I'm sick of tying yellow ribbons[00:01:09]
Praying not to see[00:01:13]
Another folded flag to a mourning lover[00:01:15]
He was an army of one but they'll find another[00:01:20]
And in the fold of the body bag[00:01:26]
Somebody check for a heart[00:01:28]
You got friends in the armed forces[00:01:30]
Now we know what a soldier costs[00:01:33]
It's the cost of the rest of us[00:01:40]
To take a life[00:01:43]
We all have our price[00:01:45]
The wife and kids sleep soundly in their beds[00:01:48]
You say you're defending me[00:01:52]
I'm untying yellow ribbons[00:01:56]
On every single tree I see[00:01:59]
They'll float like butterflies back home[00:02:06]
And I can feel the desert's heat[00:02:13]
When you're standing next to me[00:02:16]
Friendship offers no relief[00:02:19]
Stay with me now just hear me out[00:02:22]
Don't want to lose you to that great black cloud[00:02:26]
Coming down[00:02:30]
You see in the path a bullet makes[00:02:33]
When it calls you by your name[00:02:37]
And the medic can't play the rythym of your heart[00:02:39]
So it starts to fade like footsteps in the march[00:02:47]
The parade passes by our fingertips[00:02:51]
As lives once were right[00:02:57]
To change our minds[00:03:00]
Everything that's wrong looks right[00:03:04]
The lives we lead[00:03:09]
Are somewhere in between[00:03:11]
You say you're defending me[00:03:38]
I'm sick of tying yellow ribbons[00:03:41]
Praying not to see[00:03:44]
We're not going to hell[00:03:45]
To run rings around a wishing well[00:03:51]
