Victim
This lyric is about our government and how they treat our veterans, our homeless, and people with mental illness. It's specifically Target the veterans, because they usually fall into both the homeless and mental illness categories. It's a shame that when veterans come home from defending their country they are treated with such negligence and are an afterthought for our government. This lyric is about a guy named Bobby who came home from the war and found out all too well the real welcome he was going to get.

Wunschliste
Bobby came home
To a hero's parade
And it wasn't very long
Till people forgot what he gave
He moved in with his parents
Cuz he had no place to call his own
The government let him down
Bobby thought, what was the use in coming home
Just another veteran
Lost in the system
His benefits are lacking
Of the war he was a victim
How can our country
Forget about these women and men
They thought they'd be free
Instead they hit a dead end
They gave Johnny a medal
Thanked him for his service
Then the government hit the pedal
And left him alone feeling nervous
Just another veteran
Lost in the system
His benefits are lacking
Of the war he was a victim
He was a victim of circumstance
It's just the way things are
He risked his life
For a fucking bronze Star
Now I can't believe it
He said he would do it again
Bobby loves his country
It's something he'll always defend
Just another veteran
Lost in the system
His benefits are lacking
Of the war he was a victim
