Veteran Lyrics

Yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no,
where are we, where are we now?
Where are we, where are we now?
Old woman, have you seen your better days,
are you feelin' so alone,
well, the times they all have changed,
forgotten,
hungry and cold,
veteran, are you satisfied with life,
are you sleepin' on concrete,
are you forgotten and alone,
poor, homeless in this country,
where are we, where are we now?
Where are we, where are we now?
Hey senior, have you been taken past your prime,
have you been taken advantage of,
are you forgotten,
tired and poor by the ones you've voted for,
yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no mind,
yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no mind

The slavery of poverty,
no one should be hungry in this country,
enough to feed,
to medicate,
to clothe the backs and housin' for families,
the cuts in care and Medicaid leads me believe our government just doesn't care,
we send our aid,
our misspent funds,
Americans hungry livin' in the gutter

The cuts in care and Medicaid leads me believe our government just doesn't care,
we send our aid,
our misspent funds,
Americans hungry livin' in the gutter

Where are we, where are we now? (2x)

Yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no mind,
yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no mind
(Yeah yeah yeah) (3x)
(Yeah yeah)

What is the Meaning of Veteran?

Ignite's poignant track addresses the overlooked struggles of marginalized individuals, particularly focusing on veterans, seniors, and the impoverished. The lyrics expose the harsh realities faced by these groups, including abandonment, homelessness, and inadequate support from the government. Despite their sacrifices and contributions, they find themselves forgotten and mistreated. The recurring theme centers on societal neglect, symbolized by the repeated inquiries, "Where are we now?" This question underscores a collective failure to address basic needs such as food, healthcare, and housing. By criticizing government misallocations and austerity measures, the song calls for more compassionate policies that prioritize the welfare of all citizens, particularly those in dire need. #SocialInjustice #GovernmentNeglect #VeteranStruggles #PovertyAwareness
