Back To My Land

from Pterodactyl Problems by Pterodactyl Problems

lyrics

When he got back from the war
Didn’t know what he’d been there for
So shell-shocked and full of pain
Thinking of memories gained

He thought about his friends that died
Laying there, he can’t close their eyes
To the pictures burned inside
Where’s the glory?

So much sorrow so much pain
With nothing to lose and nothing to gain
He took his life the other day
It doesn’t feel like yesterday

Now that I’m back to my land
I’m not so used to a helping hand
Can you pass the coffee
Is not what I’m used to hearing in the morning

All the families torn apart
From land mines triggered in their soldier’s heart
No grand story at the end or start
There’s no grand story

So much sorrow so much pain
With nothing to lose and nothing to gain
He took his life the other day
It doesn’t feel like yesterday

When he got back from the war
Didn’t know what he’d been there for

When he got back from the war
Didn’t know what he’d been there for
So shell-shocked and full of pain
Thinking of memories gained

He thought about his friends that died
Laying there, can’t close their eyes
Now the picture’s burned inside

There’s no grand story
Where’s the fucking glory in this?
