Underdog underdog where you at
Under the city in the sewer with the rats
Looking up at the folks with the racks
Laying by they table and I'm begging for they scraps
Feed me please I gotta sign for the needy see
I ride the pine in these greedy streets
Hate the cover of my book they ain't reading me
They so mean to me it ain't easy B
Had it hard in the past with the bombs over Vietnam
Never had a phone so I couldn't call my mom my dad or my family it's been so long
When I got back everybody dead now I'm on own
After they drafted me I seen them casualties float in a blackened sea
Now they after me
Tragedy after tragedy this world is sadly filled with fallacies
And I feel like I'm one they spit in my gums
Left me to die with no food or one gun
Just one cigarette that I breathe in my lungs
Can't believe this what my life has become
Used to roll deep with the army guns
Taking out evil with the army son
Now I'm digging through the trash for salami buns
I'm a soldier but you'll never call me one
Underdog underdog where you serve
In Afghanistan touring with the birds
IED laying out by the curb
Sssh the enemy's coming don't say a word
Slit a throat hide the body in the shadow
Push it up shits creek no paddle
Infiltrate a enemy base they all raddled
Calvary riding in with no saddle
I can sit here and reminisce
But PTSD would make me sick
Take time away from my wife and kids
To run away from what relive
Dreams at night nightmares in the day time
No rest for the vet in the meantime
Punching holes in the wall break everything I touch
A bottle might help got 100 in my hutch
What's wrong please hush be quiet
To much noise makes me violent
My best friend now is silence
At the same time it hurts to be silent
Pills on pills my doctor said it helps
Still at times I scream and I yell
Think I have it all together but can't tell
I'm a broken mirror laying dusty on the shelf
