Under The Overpass

Hungry vets carrying signs to our shame
Starving homeless soldiers and who's to blame?
Once protected our freedom and our lives
Now society has cut all ties
Once trained to defend our rights
At the risk of his own ass
Now sleeps in a cardboard box
Under the overpass

Under the overpass
Under the overpass
Under the overpass

Like discarded pawns in a sick game of chess
There seems to be no place for them in this mess
A dime or a penny, whatever you can spare
They would work for food for those of you who care
All used up and thrown out
Just like a worn-out pawn
He's all that he owns
In a shopping cart

Under the overpass
Under the overpass
Under the overpass

Hungry vets carrying signs to our shame
Starving homeless soldiers and who's to blame?
Once protected our freedom and our lives
Now society has cut all ties
Once trained to defend our rights
At the risk of his own ass
Now sleeps in a cardboard box
Under the overpass

Under the overpass
Under the overpass
Under the overpass
