The Walking Wounded

Intro verse 1 We’re in the church house kneeling down We’re in the subways underground We’re in the bars and on the street We drive a truck we walk a beat We’re in the mills and factories We make the steel we cut the trees A thousand-yard stare eyes of glass But we will see you when you pass                   We lost our homes we lost our dreams All our goals have turned into schemes We hurt each other and ourselves So after long traumatic spells Chorus We are the walking We are the walking We are the walking wounded   verse 2 We cried out from the deepest pit But rise back up each time we’re hit We fell from power and from grace But resurrection’s in our face We’re just like little girls and boys We play with grown up toys We never thought of sink or swim My brother hurts me so I hurt him Chorus We are the walking We are the walking We are the walking wounded               verse 3 Like a circle round and round We go up so we come down We don’t explain or apologize We pull the veil across our eyes We see through your fake refrain But we won’t let you see our pain You may not know us but you’ll see There are more than you’d believe Chorus We are the walking We are the walking We are the walking We are the walking We are the walking We are the walking We are the walking wounded
