    Sold Out

lyrics

They sent you off to the jungle, the pacific
You said goodbye to your mom and you left
You thought you fought for the good guys, we always think that we’re the good guys
Your only order was to never give in

Nobody told you when the war was over, the war was over, no one told you for years
When all you know of who you are is a soldier, well if you’re not a soldier
Why are you here?
Why are you here?

For 30 years you kept up all your defenses
Lived every day like you were under attack
And you were mean, you scared the villagers senseless,
And you shot and you burned and when they fought back…

They tried to tell you that the war was over, the war was over but you would not believe
When all you know of who you are is a soldier, well if you’re not a soldier
What will you be?
What will you be?

They tried to tell you someone showed you the headlines
You took one look and you decided they were fake
They dropped you letters from the sky from your family
And when that didn’t work, they wondered what would it take
Somebody tracked down your former commander
He was the owner of a bookstore - he’d retired in ’58
They flew him down, you said “you promised to come get me”
He said “I’m getting you know, I’m just 30 years late”

Nobody told you but the war is over, the war is over, it’s over and done, done, done
Nobody told you but the war is over, the war is over, the war is over
The war is over and the other guys won.
