veterans' day Friday...my tribute song to them

Post by feaker66 » Wed Nov 09, 2022 7:52 am

I wrote this song to honor our vets and to remind myself daily how poorly they have been treated.

ashamed

See the ragged man walk by…they said look out..we think he’s high
Some folks looked the other way..as tears ran down his eyes

We are nasty ..with no compassion..we are ignorant of what he’s been thru
It’s despicable…it’s disgusting..
had they asked.. they’d find what he’s been through for me and you

We are guilty we’ve abandoned …men who’ve kept us free
Pretending it is all behind us….surely not to do with me

next time..take your privileged self..with a burger and fries for him
Let him talk about his life..he might just get under ..your skin

lame excuses…really useless…there’s to many a..buses
We must change things…we must try..you never should see a veteran cry

Bridge

JUST STOP…and do a little soul searchin..
think about his heart and how it’s been achin
JUST STOP…and think what he’s seen
People killin people every night in his dreams

We are nasty ..with no compassion..we are ignorant of what he’s been thru
It’s despicable…it’s disgusting..
had they asked.. they’d find what he’s been through for me and you

Good one, Paul.
I've got something 'patriotic' in the hopper - it's been on the shelf waiting for some better vocals.
Hope to post that up in a few weeks.
Good to pay tribute to those who gave so much, so unselfishly.
Cheers.

Hey Peter You have always been a stand up guy. Relegious and loyal to our country. I figured you might be the one that would feel the same as me.
a big patriotic thanks to a great guy from the peanut gallery
