War brides, we should have took time to find our way
Peace time starts with bullets and ends in a parade
Friday night, the old man said, We've gone too far
By midnight, he forgot his troubles at the bar
And we feel just like we've never lived
The TV says we did
Is this what we think freedom is all about?
Sorrow, all dressed up in a uniform
Tomorrow your child ain't coming back to where he's from
Back home the old man said, It's for the best
Because narrow is the path to righteousness, I know
And we feel just like we've never lived
The TV says we did
Is this what we think freedom is all about?
And we feel just like we've never lived
The paper says we did
Is this what we think freedom is all about?
And we feel just like we've never lived
The TV says we did
And is that what we think freedom is all about?
And we feel just like we've never lived
The paper says we did
Is this what we think freedom is all about?
