old soldier - tx2 lyrics
### **intro**
old soldier standing so tall
you fought for our country
you didn’t fall
***
### **verse 1**
you sit there alone on that bench
thinking about memories from the trench
you sing the song, you sing it well
don’t get me wrong, you have no home
i always see you alone
old soldier, what have you been through?
i can’t imagine, i have no clue
but look at what this world has done to you
yet i see a spark of hope
in your eyes too
***
### **verse 2**
doubt the worst scars
you continued your life
too bad some kids sit in their rooms
hurting themselves with knives
just ’cause a boyfriend broke their heart
your heart’s broken too
but you nеver fell apart
you raised your chin and kеpt singing
thanks to you, america’s still winning
***
### **chorus**
he fought
he risked his life to defend
now we just walk by and pretend
that the superhero never existed
he was the one brave enough to enlist
old soldier, why aren’t you sad?
i mean, you don’t even seem like you’re mad
old soldier, look what’s been done
i think you still deserve respect
without that gun
old soldier, where are you supposed to be?
all you do is sit there
and sing with glee
***
### **verse 3**
old soldiers forgotten in time
left on the streets
with memories on their mind
they deserve more than being ignored
how can we forget those
who risked it all?
to see the sad faces on the streets
they’re tiny puzzle pieces
they form to show how brutal war is
who knows what they’ve lost
but they don’t feel missed
***
### **verse 4**
they can’t sleep at night
from the fright of flashbacks that attack
who knew these thoughts
could grab us by the throat?
these heroes can’t even buy a coat
we think our problems
are always the worst
i’d like you to meet
that old soldier first
he’d trade places with you any day
this guy deserves more
than the words i say
***
### **chorus (repeat)**
he fought
he risked his life to defend
now we just walk by and pretend
that the superhero never existed
he was the one brave enough to enlist
old soldier, why aren’t you sad?
i mean, you don’t even seem like you’re mad
old soldier, look what’s been done
i think you still deserve respect
without that gun
old soldier, where are you supposed to be?
all you do is sit there
and sing with glee
***
### **bridge**
he prays god will help
hoping to get better
h*ll, all he wants
is a new sweater
but i say we give this hero more:
respect, kindness, time, and care
for this hero of war
who walks barefoot
on cold, crooked, dead streets
***
### **verse 5 (commentary)**
we respect katy perry
taylor swift, and brad pitt
but ignore those heroes
we drive by and forget
the result of post*war scars
this country is a gift—
don’t you dare disrespect
that old soldier traded his life for yours
so we could live safe
behind closed doors
***
### **final chorus / outro**
old soldier standing so tall
you fought for our country
and you didn’t fall
he fought
he risked his life to defend
now we just walk by and pretend
that the superhero never existed
he was the one brave enough to enlist
old soldier, why aren’t you sad?
i mean, you don’t even seem like you’re mad
old soldier, look what’s been done
i think you still deserve respect
without that gun
old soldier, where are you supposed to be?
all you do is sit there
and sing with glee
