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?
