Life During Peacetime

Welcome to life during peacetime Where I get to go home Flag waving high They say it’s the last of them And I’m one to believe: After what they put us through, it had better be Welcome to life during peacetime Where they act like they care And I can provide You want a family And we don’t have to wait Cause I’ll retire at 65 with money in the bank So I will build this house And never leave So much has changed What can we expect? When I can’t stop thinking about Not enough love and too much debt You learn not to see And you try to pretend When you teach your kids to do what they love only on nights and weekends So I will dream of this house But never leave Welcome to life during peacetime
