Subject: US Marines

lyrics

We've given our blood in defense of the homeland,
We've given it everything they asked for
what can i do for my country?
what did my country do for me?

I remember every now and then
what it felt like to be home again
but now we're lying on the ground again
no idea if we'll be found again

Chorus:
My blood runs red, white and blue
but what has this country done to you
no answer, no end, no start
just a Purple Heart (just a Purple Heart)

We've given it all for the stars and the eagles
We've given it everything and more
so what can i do for my country?
what did my country do for me?

Can you feel it coming round again?
Can you recognize those sounds again?
so I remember every now and then
what it felt like to be home again (home again)

Chorus
what have you done for your country?
what have I done for my country?
what has my country done to you?
Just a Purple Heart, just a Purple Heart

The theme for our latest album is Spielberg. Enjoy! ... more
