[Intro] [Interlude] [Intro] [Verse 1] As an American Memorial day is important to me I honor those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice Their act is a debt this nation will never be able to repay [Bridge] No matter how many holidays are created No matter how many bridges and roads are renamed No matter how many memorials we build to place wreaths [Interlude] [Verse 2] We don’t know the costs our friends and families have paid They return home for photo ops and handshakes Some return home with nightmares and addictions We forget about them and move on to the next media cycle [Verse 3] We have sacrificed so many of Americas children To help those around the world The common man and woman asking nothing in return We’ve failed to honor them and let them go unseen [Chorus] We have sacrificed so many of Americas children The common man and woman ask nothing in return We’ve failed to honor them and let America fall into tyranny [Interlude] [Chorus 4] It pains me to see all that we’ve done to appease To let politicians take from our families To line their pockets with the blood of our loved ones We’re sleep walking letting them have their way [Chours 5] On Memorial day some will mourn their loss Some will have a barbecue and drink the day away Somewhere in the world some fool will be planning Here at home some family will make another sacrifice [Chorus] Their act is a debt this nation will never be able to repay No matter how many holidays are created No matter how many bridges and roads are renamed [Interlude] [Interlude] [Chorus] Their act is a debt this nation will never be able to repay No matter how many holidays are created No matter how many bridges and roads are renamed [Interlude] [Outro] When will we wake up When will we learn When will we standup and say ENOUGH! [Interlude] [Fade] [End]
