Johnny went to basic
Right out of high school
And on his first assignment
He saw his friends get killed
He came home a hero
But with a taste for heroin
A daily habit; wreaking havoc
While in and out of jail
Daddy listen!
Your little boy is gone
But it wasn't a bullet
It's the needle in his arm
We're blind to all the lies
Those who served come home broken
To face a broken; crooked government
Denied! You've been denied
It's wrong that the ones who served us can't get service
Because the war's not out there
It's in the boys who are coming home
