A HERO'S RETURN

Stepped into my boots to make my contribution
protect god-country-and-mom, and our constitution
back in the real world, that don't pay the rent
pennies and dreams are easily spent
everyone seems to know just where it all went... But me
take a good look... at a hero's return

I know you awaited my return with anticipation meet your great expectations
I'm vacant as straw behind paranoid eyes
sad to inform you, but your son has died
I pulled back the curtain, there's no one inside... But me
take a good look... At a hero's return

I'd rather decline from a dose of your condemnation
my chest full of medals and grand commendations
signed with the general's own rubber stamp
I was straight as an arrow, boy, sharp as a tack
now who stands before you with the knife in his back... But me
take a good look... At a hero's return
