Name: The Heroes Aren't Here For You
Duration: P00H03M40S
Description: The disconnect between most of us and the soldier families we send off to kill and die for us is a clear problem when we're deciding whether to blow up a country or when to get out. The only time we think about these guys for real is when cruel hypocrites are using them to score political points.

The disconnect between most of us and the soldier families we send off to kill and die for us is a clear problem when we're deciding whether to blow up a country or when to get out. The only time we think about these guys for real is when cruel hypocrites are using them to score political points.

lyrics

The heroes aren’t here for you
No there’s nothing you need to do
Thank you for your service
You really do deserve this
At a safe remove

When it all blew up you really showed your stuff
You really came through
That’s what we expect from you
You really came through
Twenty-one-gun salute

The heroes aren’t here for us
They’re the only ones that they can trust
Watch each other’s backs when they’re under attack
That’s what we’ll need when we send them back

When it all blows up you know what we’ll do?
We’re counting on you!
We know you’ll come through
We’re counting on you!
Twenty-one-gun salute

Wrap you in the mantle
It’s all dismantled
Hit the ground!

The heroes aren’t here for you
No there’s nothing you need to do
Thank you for your service
You really do deserve this
At quite a safe remove

When it all blows up...
Twenty-one-gun salute.
