jonah smith - veterans day, no parade lyrics

veterans day, no parade

this valley’s been reborn and died so many times that i can’t cry
for all the trailer parks and the liquor stores around
the people here have lost their spark
and the streetlights don’t come on at dark
and when the light is gone you hardly hear a sound

it’s veterans day but there’s no parade
there’s sunshine but there ain’t no shade
waiting around i’ve got time to k!ll
there’s a sucker here but i can’t see
who it is, so i guеss it’s me
i’ve always been an underdog and i always will

ed’s on disability but you know hе seems just fine to me
good enough to bet on the dogs down at the track
he used to work for union pay
operating lifts that hauled away
what this town made before the fade to black

the people here are simple still without the jobs at the mill
it’s quitting time before the days begun
there’s jobs around but they don’t pay
enough to keep your eye from straying
we lost a lot but i’m not sure what we won
the fence maker’s a busy man and the shelter does what it can
it’s hard to lend a hand when it’s clenched up like a fist
the tv ads beat us down
and we’d vote if we could get off the ground
i’ll ask you tomorrow you can tell me what i missed
it’s veterans day but there’s no parade
there’s sunshine but there ain’t no shade
waiting around i’ve got time to k!ll
there’s a sucker here but i can’t see
who it is, so i guess it’s me
i’ve always been an underdog and i always will

a career in mind well, get in line
or you can have two at a time
try to piece together a little life
i don’t recognize the american dream
it’s nightmare when it runs out of steam
uncle sam is out cold and under the knife

it’s veterans day but there’s no parade
there’s sunshine but there ain’t no shade
waiting around i’ve got time to k!ll
there’s a sucker here but i can’t see
who it is, so i guess it’s me
i’ve always been an underdog and i always will
i’ve always been an underdog and i always will
i’ve always been an underdog and i always will
