Veteran Lyrics
Ignite
Lyrics
Yeah you're abandoned so sorry
You're just a waste of their time
Yeah you've been lied to once again
Yeah we'll they've paid you no mind
Where are we now
Old woman have you seen your better days
Are you feeling so alone
Well the times they all have changed
Forgotten hungry and cold
Veteran are you satisfied with life
Are you sleeping on concrete
Are you forgotten and alone
Poor homeless in this country
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 we'll 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 housing for families
The cuts in care and Medicaid Leads me to believe
Our government just doesn't care
We send our aid our misspent funds
Americans hungry living in the gutter
Where are we now

The lyrics are driven by an angst-filled energy that speaks to the struggles and experiences of veterans.
