Veteran Lyrics

Old man sits in the public park-Sun has set and soon
comes dark! Last bottle is empty, throat is dry-No place
to sleep, it's cold outside!

He lost his friends in a war-Back in 1944! Once he stood
there with a gun-Now he's tired, old and done!

Once he fought for the Fatherland-When Russians came, he
fought like a man! We owed him lot but we've betrayed-He
did his part, we never paid!

He never got out anything-From what leaders promised to him! You'll get your share when the war is won-Now they
treat him like a scum!

How it feels now, did you win? Was it worth everthing?
The land's still free, but they've forgot-Just who to
thank for we have got?

Once he fought for the Fatherland-When Russians came, he
fought like a man! We owed him lot but we've betrayed-He
did his part, we never paid!
