From the beginning of time survival has been the key
Of all the links in the chain there's always to of the tree
Born allegiance to blood then separate into packs
Just watch as the weak fall through the cracks
With the inception of man expected change to degree
With free will and now thought yet primal still by decree
Separate into tribes think territorially
See the birth of the army
Fighting for their creed
Now the stage is set for the theater
Come take your seat
For every battle that's won both sides take a loss
With the spilling of blood the insurmountable cost
Although presented in mass still individually bleed
Every man fights to be free
Now the tour is done what with all that was asked
How does this loyal machine slip back into his past
Does his government care or even want to know
Where's this hero supposed to go
Sworn to defend
Those of us who depend
On the basic rights of freedom and country
For a soldier in his life
Was once civilian like you and I
Yet when called to make a stand
Does so
[Solo:Jay]
Cause they were sworn to defend
Those of us who depend
On the basic rights of freedom and country
For a soldier in his life
Was once civilian like you and I
Yet when called to make a stand
Does so
As we send them away and hope that they'll come back some day
What's the reward for the sacrifice
Thrust back in society's plan
Gotta hit the ground running as fast as they can
As we remember the theatre don't forget the man
[Solo:Duck]
It's so damned easy for those of use never served
So why try deny the hero what is deserved
And as families mourn for those who are lost
Those still with use in need can be easy forgot
There's no forgetting for them so why can't we remember
Cause they were sworn to defend
Those of us who depend
On the basic rights of freedom and country
For a soldier in his life
Was once civilian like you and I
Yet when called to make a stand
Does so
As we send them away and hope that they'll come back some day
What's the reward for their sacrifice
Thrust back in society's plan
Gotta hit the ground running as fast as they can
Remember the theatre don't forget the man
