Intro: (x2) verse 1 He was nineteen When he landed at Bagram Scared and all alone He lost a leg and a girlfriend Before he got home And they say all is fair in Love and War But that ain't true, it's wrong They send you off to die for us Forget about you when you don't verse 2 He was nineteen, then 68 After all this time That broken boy is now a broken man Waitin' in a VA line And they say all is fair in Love and War But that ain't true, it's wrong They ship you out to die for us Forget about you when you don't Bridge And the nightmares And he's running scared Far from home And he wakes up From a nightmare He's in another one He's still not home Solo (x4) verse 3 They call 'em decorated heroes And pin some medals on their chest Give 'em a tiny little pension Could we do much less They say all is fair in Love and War But that ain't true, it's wrong They ship you out to die for us Forget about you when you don't (x3) Outro:
