lyrics

He enlisted at the age of 18
Learned to be sharp, learned to be mean
Training hard, training right
Preparing for most any fight
Stress on his mind weighed a ton
Taking orders, doing what needs to be done
Shipped him to a foreign land
But still he felt like the common man

Chorus:
Man on the street, Yesterdays hero
Man on the street, Yesterdays hero
Man on the street, Yesterdays hero
Reduced to nothing but a zero

Back at home on American soil
Tempers flare, blood begins to boil
Caught in the middle, no where to be
Suffering from PTSD
Every day is such a struggle
Half his platoon was found under rubble
Lost his life, can’t find a career
Believes the answer in the next beer

Chorus:
Man on the street, Yesterdays hero
Man on the street, Yesterdays hero
Man on the street, Yesterdays hero
Reduced to nothing but a zero

Love of his life's gone away
Price for his life, he can't seem to pay
Looks for help from Veterans Affairs
All he gets is blank stares
Loses himself in local sports
Self medication is what supports
Bends the rules, breaks the laws
Hooligans for Heroes helps his cause.
