Under The Overpass Lyrics - Dri

Hungry vets carrying signs to our shame 

Starving homeless soldiers 

And who's to blame? 

Once protected our freedom and our lives 

Now society has cut all ties 

Once trained to defend our rights 

At the risk of his own ass 

Now sleeps in a cardboard box 

Under the overpass 

Under -- under the overpass 

Like discarded pawns in a sick game of chess 

Seems to be no place for them in this mess 

A dime or a penny, whatever you can spare 

They would work for food 

For those of you who care 

All used up and thrown out 

Just like a worn out part 

Keeps all that he owns 

In a shopping cart 

Under -- under the overpass
