How do you say I’m sorry, for something you did not do
That causes so much pain, to the people all around you
People suffering everywhere, some I know, some I don’t
They must end this madness, but they can’t, or they won’t
For centuries soldiers have offered, the ultimate to give
It is done for just one reason, so others may grow and live
We choose our place in line, it just happens to be our turn
If you’ve never wore the uniform, it’s not possible to learn
What goes on inside a man, who has heard his country call
And to the depth he believes, in Freedom and Justice for all
It’s hard to watch politicians, pervert our way of life
Stripping away our culture, like cutting with a knife
All they seem to care about, is winning the next vote
Slowly taking our freedoms, it’s in the bill they wrote
Let’s take away their salaries, the benefits and the perks
Do you think tomorrow, they will still show up to work
You serve to make things better, it’s not about the pay
This land belongs to we the people, we have the final say
It’s time to get something done, you see it happening too
It will be your turn to apologize, if nothing’s what you do
