War brides, we should have took time to find our way

Peace time starts with bullets and ends in a parade

Friday night, the old man said, ?We've gone too far?

By midnight, he forgot his troubles at the bar

And we feel just like we've never lived

The TV says we did

Is this what we think freedom is all about?

Sorrow, all dressed up in a uniform

Tomorrow your child ain't coming back to where he's from

Back home the old man said, ?It's for the best?

Because narrow is the path to righteousness, I know

And we feel just like we've never lived

The TV says we did

Is this what we think freedom is all about?

And we feel just like we've never lived

The paper says we did

Is this what we think freedom is all about?

And we feel just like we've never lived

The TV says we did

And is that what we think freedom is all about?

And we feel just like we've never lived

The paper says we did

Is this what we think freedom is all about?
