Matthew Ryan - Veteran's Day lyrics

Shiny shoes and polished bronze Another old man without an arm Empty streets a daylight moon Barely a crowd lines the parade route It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day Red balloons and purple hearts Lives and family torn apart All is tattered and soon to pop The cavalcade wheezes before it stops It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day Politicians pull the triggers But they never carry the guns They legislate the land, follow the polls on CNN Fold their hands and call on the poorer ones It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day It's Veteran's Day Until there's no one left to tell Until there's no one left to tell War is hell War is hell
