Tanner Fresh - When They're Gone lyrics

[Intro] Give a man a gun what does he become? x4 [Verse 1: Tanner Fresh] Picture SGt Chad, just became a Dad Missed it was posted in Bagdad Second gen. proudly wears a Uniform Proudly does duty, tactfully Performs On a night ops a team of night hawks In enemy territory, sights co*ked Boom an I-E-D ; Chad can't see Shots Ricocheting off nearby trees Chad on his knees Fights to breath Flashback of a cut short life indeed His wife and parents well they watch TV And To their horror who the hell do they see? Sad, A daughter never meets her father Sad, A father never meets his daughter And rest a**ured cause he died in honor? She joins the force to honor her father. (Damn) [Hook: Tanner Fresh] What Have we all done? Giving our kids such deadly guns! When they leave and when they're gone Our sisters, brothers, daughters, sons [verse 2: Tanner Fresh] Imagine PVT Niclette, trained in Bayonet Building trenches made of blood and sweat Knows she only has about 2 weeks left Under constant fire, leaves her over Stressed Doesn't watch her step - trips a Claymore Is this why she's here – is it what she came for? Is this really what our - people are paid for? Pawns in the Govt's - game of war She Screams for help - nobody hears Alone she breaks down into tears Served her country, less than a year Given purple hearts over public cheer She had no boo - single mother of two Fought so her kids could go to school They turned 18 and picked up arms Avenging those that caused her harm, damn [Hook: Tanner Fresh] What Have we all done? Giving our kids such deadly guns! When they leave and when they're gone Our sisters, brothers, daughters, sons What Have we all done? Giving our kids such deadly guns! When they leave and when they're gone Our sisters, brothers, daughters, sons [Outro] Give our kids these guns and what do they become? x4
