The Patriot's Son Video (MV)

All hail
I'm the patriot son
When I grow up gonna carry Uncle Sam's gun
Hey
You
Look at me go
Gonna be a hero
March in time
Put my life on the line for you
Just like the movies taught me to do
Okay, it ain't what I thought
But we got a job to do
Gonna give it my best
Can't fail my crew
Yeah, it's over
But it ain't ever over
Uncle Sam says, got more work for you
For me
But I did what I was told, and I just wanted to go home
How can you ask me to do these things that aren't what I signed up for
I know I'm no hero
But you're making me into the villain
And I still just want to go home
Time has past
But memories last
I don't know what I can do
Visions stuck in my head
I get no peace when I lay down in bed
Every day is filled with dread
And between my fingers I roll this brass tipped with lead
I want it all out of my head
Hey, Hey, You
Look at me go
Gonna be a hero
March in time
Put my life on the line
For you
Just like the movies taught me to do
The movies lied to me
And so did you
All hail
The patriot son
All grown up
Once carried Uncle Sam's gun
All hail
The patriot son
Did his time
Feels like he committed a crime
Old Uncle Sam wasn't who he expected
Now who will sing the hero's songs
Who will stand up for the Patriot son
Who pretends to care
But if he speaks they just stare
At the patriot son
Who did his duty
They don't understand
They can't understand
Got to just be quiet
Bottle it all up inside
Shove it down deep inside
So alone, so quiet, mouth shut, so quiet, so calm
So calm on the outside
Did what was needed, did what I was told, saw what I saw, and keeping quiet has gotten old
But I'm calm on the outside, wish I wasn't so alone
Is anybody out there who understands
