The Company we Keep - Johnny Crashed
Luke was a boy barely older then seventeen
Wearing a uniform had always been his dream
Cop or fireman but first the chosen few
I'll do my time and then I'll come home to you
Carlos felt old though barely twenty-one
Maybe get some respect if they knew I'd carried a gun
Little baby girl and one more on the way
It's not a matter of doubt it's just how much can they pay
Only one thing in common, only one thing that they shared
When the hype and the horror had finally disappeared
The President had another use for them
Cannon fodder for all the oilmen
Cannon fodder for all the oilmen
Wendy Sue knew that dresses weren't for her
She was the neighborhood gal and always seemed so sure
Even had a girlfriend before it was the rage
She'd always laugh when they said it was just a phase
Eddie never knew there might be another way
To end the nightmares that took his father to his grave
So just like his daddy did thirty years before
He got sent to hell to fight a rich man's war
Wearing a uniform had always been his dream
Cop or fireman but first the chosen few
I'll do my time and then I'll come home to you
