Folds on Fire - Did They Tell You Lyrics

Who are you
Who are you
Did they tell you
When you donned the beret
Did they tell you
There'd be politics at play

Where were you
Where were you
Did they tell you
You were coming home today
Did they tell you
You were coming home to stay

You were so young, so strong
You soldiered on and on and on
You stayed so brave
Never hesitating in harm's way
Were you even aware of
The peril you faced

Who will meet you
Who will greet you
Did they tell you
You'd be a hero someday
Did they tell you
We'd bury you today
Did they tell you
You'd be the price we pay

Where are you
Where are you
