Under The Overpass

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
