Hazmat - The Theatre

From the beginning of time survival has been the key Of all the links in the chain there's always to of the tree Born allegiance to blood then separate into packs Just watch as the weak fall through the cracks With the inception of man expected change to degree With free will and now thought yet primal still by decree Separate into tribes think territorially See the birth of the army Fighting for their creed Now the stage is set for the theater Come take your seat For every battle that's won both sides take a loss With the spilling of blood the insurmountable cost Although presented in mass still individually bleed Every man fights to be free Now the tour is done what with all that was asked How does this loyal machine slip back into his past Does his government care or even want to know Where's this hero supposed to go Sworn to defend Those of us who depend On the basic rights of freedom and country For a soldier in his life Was once civilian like you and I Yet when called to make a stand Does so Cause they were sworn to defend Those of us who depend On the basic rights of freedom and country For a soldier in his life Was once civilian like you and I Yet when called to make a stand Does so As we send them away and hope that they'll come back some day What's the reward for the sacrifice Thrust back in society's plan Gotta hit the ground running as fast as they can As we remember the theatre don't forget the man It's so damned easy for those of use never served So why try deny the hero what is deserved And as families mourn for those who are lost Those still with use in need can be easy forgot There's no forgetting for them so why can't we remember Cause they were sworn to defend Those of us who depend On the basic rights of freedom and country For a soldier in his life Was once civilian like you and I Yet when called to make a stand Does so As we send them away and hope that they'll come back some day What's the reward for their sacrifice Thrust back in society's plan Gotta hit the ground running as fast as they can Remember the theatre don't forget the man
