The bars are crowded with wasted youth You just went, you didn't know the truth You don't know that kid when you look back You remember the music, paint it black
You had a brother in the Movement and he burned his \"card\" He's got a job in the White House, ain't life hard? You came back a hero, on a stolen horse You say you don't fit in, you can't stay the course...
And you say... I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong It's a veteran's song I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong It's a veteran's song!
The band paraded playing \"Oh Gung Ho\"\" Your country needs you, you've got to go... When you came over they said \"Soldier go back!\" When you came home they put you on the rack...
Between agent Orange, and the jungle and fear You're just surviving... to get out of here! Smoke some more herb, and you keep your head down! Could be your number is on the next round.
And you say... I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong It's a veteran's song I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong It's a veteran's song!
(solo)
The bars are crowded with wasted youth You just went, you didn't know the truth You don't know that kid when you look back You remember the music, paint it black
Now you say... I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong It's a veteran's song I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong It's a veteran's song!
Yes, I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong, It's a veteran's song!
I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong, It's a veteran's song!
