sloan - essential services lyrics
is everyone a soldier
when there’s no end in sight
and the ones that do the running
will exercise their right
to plead their case tomorrow
’cause they must be moving on
so much for the front line
run the marathon
though half of them are gone
and the grass is always greener
the meaning just got meaner
they’ll state their case tomorrow
the savings in their bonds
the map is just an outline
the quarters can’t be drawn
still every now and then i’m reminded that you
could wave goodbye and then vanish from view
essential services are counting on you
ooh
don’t you dare surrender
don’t bother keeping score
the battle lines get blurry
when your world’s at war
just move to the horizon
the sun is in your eyes
that’s one retired captain
imparted words so wise
still every now and then i’m reminded that you
could wave goodbye and then vanish from view
essential services are counting on you
ooh
counting on you, ooh
imparting words so wise
we always kept our ties
and hanging up the medals
our feet were on the pedals
just move to the horizon
the sun it has your eyes
retired’s just a caption
i’ll never justify
still every now and then i’m reminded that you
could wave goodbye and then vanish from view
essential services are counting on you
ooh
counting on you, ooh
ooh
ooh
