lyrics

The Free and The Brave

Here we go
sit back for the ride
they're shaking hands
and stoking home fires
putting on pins and checking their hair

Now they're standing in rows
and towing a line
every year it get s harder to buy
what they do
and what they say but
everything changes when you get home.

The economy's strong
like coffee in a cup
numbers don't lie
they just don't always add up
let me assure you it's good down to the last drop.

Another round of applause
for our plan of attack
a tear in the eye
and a pat on the back
If you ask them we
never had it so good but
everything changes when you get home.

Oh, say?
Does that star-
spangled banner yet wave
over the land
of the free and
the home of the brave?

Oh say
does it wave
over the free
and the
brave?

Thanks for listening
Thanks for your time
The state of the Union
is doing just fine
a moment of silence
for the ones not coming home.

A prayer for the wounded
hungry
and poor
the good book says you'll
inherit the earth
but
Everything changes
Everything changes
everything changes
when you get home.
