Hungry vets carrying signs to our shame Starving homeless soldiers And who's to blame? Once protected our freedom and our lives Now society has cut all ties Once trained to defend our rights At the risk of his own ass Now sleeps in a cardboard box Under the overpass Under -- under the overpass Like discarded pawns in a sick game of chess Seems to be no place for them in this mess A dime or a penny, whatever you can spare They would work for food For those of you who care All used up and thrown out Just like a worn out part Keeps all that he owns In a shopping cart Under -- under the overpass
