    He nestles in
    Under "his" bridge
    But will not sleep tonight
    Tears fall like rain
    But no one will see
    No one will console
    No one will care
    No one

    My hope died as people spit on me,
    called me a murder and refused to
    acknowledge me. No I'm no hero,
    but I was a soldier. I'm a man damn it,
    but no hears me because they are afraid
    to look at me, to look upon the reminder
    of what they call defeat.
    God Bless America for I will always love
    you, even if you can't see me.
    No one understands the voices in my head.
    No one cares that I am not dead.
    No one
    No one

    His love of the red, white & blue
    Ingrained in him
    Why then, oh why
    Has his country forsaken him?

    He served in Korea
    Time had to be done
    Grew up in the household
    Not very much fun
    Dealing with his demons
    A choice he'd never regret
    Where is the fucking time
    For a Korean vet?
    Not that the US soldier
    Were not brave and dutiful too
    The government down there
    Turns a tighter screw
    Brothers and now sisters
    Who have fought in a war
    Bring back horrible memories
    What dirty tricks the brain has in-store
    You've changed your place in this world!

    Some memeories last forever
    Thoughts still a prisoner of war
    And a peaceful, decent, restful sleep
    Is all he wishes for

    he heads for the shelter
    to claim a bed for the night
    he can feel the air changing,
    its going to snow later tonight.
    Too bad he didn't know
    the shelter was gone.
    It was burnt down last night
    by people unknown.
    he heads for the shelter to claim a bed.

    bloodied footprints in snow
    tell of sorrowful stumbling
    beating a path back through his years

    but no one sees
    no one deciphers his time
    no one lays a grain of love
    at his front door.

    he listens for words
    that will never be spoken
    Some people have to have the sultry evenings Cocktails in the blue, red and grey But I like every minute of the day.

    And so he speaks them to himself
    He understands them
    But passers-by
    Wonder why?
    They shake their heads
    They fear his look
    They fear his words
    They do not understand
    They think he is a mad man

    Where do I rest tonight
    my head is full and my body cold.
    Where do I rest tonight?
    As he stumbles through the snow.

    His footsteps dissapering
    Like those who pass him
    Wishing he would
    He lies down
    The snow a lovely blanket
    So white
    So pure
    So clean

    and so mean,
    as he begins to shiver.
    wondering if this will be
    his last night,
    as the sky glows and
    the dark envelops him.

    He fights the closing of his eyes
    It is not a stranger that he fears
    The strain of life and living
    Closing in on less years

    the fleeting years weigh heavy on his
    mind nights like this, he seems to see
    clear the memories of family, friends,
    and one summer of college beer days.
    O Canada, O Canada, I should have went
    but that red, white and blue always knew
    I could never say no, hell I didn't have
    the connections any way. Thank you
    he tries to nod as an extra blanket is
    placed upon him.

    Oh Canada
    You are a true free nation
    For now
    Please don't ever go the way of our southern neighbour
    For greed is not a good thing
    You can only take the best for "so long"
    Before those words echo in your head
    You've changed your place in this world!

    Greed
    A wicked black pit
    Always wanting more
    A hunger
    Never sated

    My god the backyard needs to be weeded
    Another getaway is needed
    The voices in his head pleaded
    Ideas have already been seeded
    You've changed your place in this world!

    Inside his skull
    They grow
    They form
    Take shape
    Until they bloom
    And spew forth from his gaping maw

    Ah, oh, *pause*
    Mind gone blank
    Need a vaction
    Get a tan
    I should drive a tank
    You've changed your place in this world!

    Sure, drive a tank
    I'll call you Sherman
    Drive it to the desert
    Then you can get a tan
    And think about sand
    And where you stand
    And green eggs and ham
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen
