Lyrics

His gearâ€™s a bag of empty cans 
And grime his brand of cammo 
He greets a strangerâ€™s outstretched hand 
With spit, his secret ammo 

Still on patrol, he lurks along 
The concrete jungle street 
A casualty of plans gone wrong 
And Welcome Home deceit 

Chorus: 
Heâ€™d served his country 
Heâ€™d done his time 
But while he was out there some deemed it a crime 
No jury of peers 
But sentenced to life 
No family to miss him, then dumped by his wife 

This turn of tide was his reward 
Wrapped up in strings of sadness 
But feelings he could ill-afford 
So draped himself in madness 

Chorus2: 
Heâ€™d served his country 
Heâ€™d done his time 
But while he was out there some deemed it a crime 
No jury of peers 
But sentenced to life 
No family to miss him, then dumped by his wife 


Bridge: 
Being all that he could be was patriotic bait 
He took it and unknowingly sabotaged his fate 

At least he had learned 
Some tricks to survive 
To find hidden treasures to keep him alive 
Would like to forget 
Some things from before 
Like dreams of returning a hero from war. 

Tag: 
He came and went, a bet unplaced 
Going, going, gone, erased
