Veteran
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, you're abandoned, so sorry
You're just a waste of their time
Yeah, you've been lied to once again
Yeah, well, they've paid you no
Where are we, where are we now?
Where are we, where are we now?
Old woman, have you seen your better days
Are you feelin' so alone
Well, the times they all have changed
Forgotten, hungry and cold
Veteran, are you satisfied with life
Are you sleepin' on concrete
Are you forgotten and alone
Poor, homeless in this country
Where are we, where are we now?
Where are we, where are we now?
Hey senior, have you been taken past your prime
Have you been taken advantage of
Are you forgotten, tired and poor
By the ones you've voted for
Yeah, you're abandoned, so sorry
You're just a waste of their time
Yeah, you've been lied to once again
Yeah, well, they've paid you no mind
Yeah, you're abandoned, so sorry
You're just a waste of their time
Yeah, you've been lied to once again
Yeah, well, they've paid you no mind
The slavery of poverty
No one should be hungry in this country
Enough to feed, to medicate
To clothe the backs and housin' for families
The cuts in care and Medicaid leads me believe
Our government just doesn't care
We send our aid, our misspent funds
Americans hungry livin' in the gutter
The cuts in care and Medicaid leads me believe
Our government just doesn't care
We send our aid, our misspent funds
Americans hungry livin' in the gutter
Where are we, where are we now?
Where are we, where are we now?
Yeah, you're abandoned, so sorry
You're just a waste of their time
Yeah, you've been lied to once again
Yeah, well, they've paid you no mind
Yeah, you're abandoned, so sorry
You're just a waste of their time
Yeah, you've been lied to once again
Yeah, well, they've paid you no mind
