Battleground
We never really recovered from WWII. The military way of doing things became the national way of doing things, in many respects. The threat of nuclear way was always in the background, the military were always a part of our lives that way. I suppose for men, it's always been like this. Be stoic, press forward, be goal oriented, precision and detail, force when necessary, but always forward! For many of us, this is just metaphoric. But for many others, armed from childhood, dealing with gang violence, it's literal.
lyrics
Long nights spent alone in shadow
The days roll into one
Here on this battleground,
I can't tell when another day's begun
But I really don't mind, it's a haze not unkind
There's no way to unwind anyway
No I really don't mind, it's a haze not unkind
There's no way to unwind anyway
When I started out on this journey
Oh it seems like a long time ago
Emotion was easy, to touch was to live
Our eyes locked in silence, to love was to give
Seems like once I had more to say
Seems like once I had less to feel
Seems like once when I was young
Things were somehow much more real
An end to dependence on this concrete lie,
The earth grows tired of dying
I just sit here and watch the world go by
Sometimes I grow tired of trying
Just more nights spent in shadow
And days spent on coals
In search of more nights and more days and more goals
But I really don't mind, it's a haze not unkind
There's no way to unwind anyway
No I really don't mind, it's a haze not unkind
There's no way to unwind anyway
The t.v. flickers blue in the heart of night
And casts patterns on my sweat-drenched skin
My muscles knot, all cramped and taught
In a box of a room that's cramped and hot
You know the battle never stops
Just another day Just another night
Just another day Just another night
Just another day Just another night
Just another day Just another
Long night spent alone in shadow
The days still roll into one
With a battleground mentality the battle's never won
Until we're in the ground and safe and sound
And our children are left to pick up our weapons
Trapped on the battlefield
we have chosen to leave them on
Fight on brave soldiers
The dawn is coming
And with it
Another night
