oh look at how the time goes past and memories fade
you can tell by the age in their eyes and the scars they wear
they've been places no one should be
the nine dragon river is a long ways from tennessee
back in a time when ho chi minh city was place called saigon
were going to save the world they said
oh bartender if you please
and from the whisky bottle of broken dreams
the sandman pours another one
oh look at how the time goes past and memories fade
you can tell by the age in their eyes and the scars they wear
they've been places no one should be
followed storman norman across the desert sand
took some place called Kuwait back now they're going to be free ?
oh bartender if you please
and from the whisky bottle of broken dreams
the sandman pours another one
oh look at how the time goes past and memories fade
you can tell by the age in their eyes and the scars they wear
they've been places no one should be
seems like everyone but the soldiers getting killed in a place called afghanistan has forgotten september 11 2001
remember Everyone was pissed off and we were going to save the .....
Now their just tearing down statue's on the courthouse lawn saying their saving the world ?
oh bartender if you please
and from the whisky bottle of broken dreams
the sandman pours another one
