At first it was the thing to do,
our patriotic chore;
But with all the screwings we got,
I felt more like a w****.
They sent us overseas,
to fight someone else's war;
Then we returned to find,
they needed us no more.
They added insult to injury,
rubbed salt in our wounds;
They give the slant-eyed b******S,
a house, a job --- the moon!
Now there's nothing we can do,
you say we shouldn't fight it;
Well, I may have to eat shit,
But I sure as hell don't have to like it!
It seems so damn ironic,
We're a nation of bleeding hearts,
So eager to give a hand to others
And forget the veteran's part.
Money and food sent overseas,
How easy it seems to be;
With little or nil for those who fought
To keep this country free.
So quick to take in refugees,
Give 'em a job and a house to own;
Then turn right around and cut
Veteran's benefits to the bone.
It seems so damn stupid,
To keep making the same mistakes;
For Veterans to give and give and give,
While the government takes
and takes
and takes.
Sometimes I laugh,
Sometimes I cry;
More than once or twice,
I just wanted to die.
Sometimes I toss,
Sometimes I turn;
But there is always fuel,
For this anger to burn.
Sometimes I care,
Sometimes I don't;
One thing's for certain,
Forget it, I won't.
Sometimes it's dark,
Sometimes it's light;
With no chance of better,
'Till the wrong is right.
