You think of them over there, men like mine
Dirty and exhausted, but fighting bravely
I'm sure it's a glamorous image in the heads
Of those who don't look too deeply into it,
And don't know the details or the reality

You think of them over there, men like mine
Brainwashed and invasive, following terrible orders
I'm sure it's an infuriating image in the heads
Of those who don't look too deeply into it,
And don't know the details or the reality

You think of them coming home, men like mine
Valiant and glowing, embracing emotional families
I'm sure it's a romantic image in the heads
Of those who don't look too deeply into it,
And don't know the details or the reality


***
The struggles don't end upon their return, not for them or for us.
