lyrics

It’s now November
Be in by 5:30, remember
the blue sky goes black, every member
of the neighborhood chains up they doors

Today we remember
soldiers survived and passed away
Bouquets on some lawns
It must be Veteran’s Day

When there were flowers in the trees
you could see the casualties
lounging on their porches
For dead friend they’re packing torches
They can roll, yeah, they can drive
and thank G_d they’re still alive
They can think and talk, my friend,
but they will never walk again

It’s Veteran’s Day
A sad remembrance day
Give the boys from this great way
something worth fighting for

It’s Veteran’s Day
Phone disconnections play
I’m trying to get hold of the soldiers
I’m alone at the end of the line

So come honor the veterans of foreign wars
and all the boys growing old while the bloody rain pours
Bring out your scorchers for the scorching
Leave your cars, cocaine, and your fortune

It’s Veteran’s Day
A sad remembrance day
Give the boys from this great way
something worth dying for

It’s Veteran’s Day
Phone disconnections play
I’m trying to get hold of the soldiers
I’m alone at the end of the line
