lyrics

The toy soldier in the balcony at the President's address
Gets a standing O and a shiny medal pinned upon his chest
The politicians smile and wave their hands and wipe their tears
And they leave him on the playroom floor to be found again next year

Twenty-two brothers took their lives today
Between the praise and parades and the accolades
They told us, "Thank you for your service" on the day we shipped
But when we come home broken they don't give a shit
So let the twenty-one guns and the bugler play
'Cause twenty-two brothers took their lives today

Tanks and planes and ships and soldiers lined up on parade
Yeah the media sure loves to put its heroes on display
And the pageantry of guns and bombs really looks good on TV
But the fighting doesn't stopped it just moves where you can't see

Twenty-two brothers took their lives today
Between the praise and parades and the accolades
They told us, "Thank you for your service" on the day we shipped
But when we come home broken they don't give a shit
So let the twenty-one guns and the bugler play
'Cause twenty-two brothers took their lives today
