[Verse 1]
September the second, two thousand seventeen
That’s your discharge date, etched in your soul
It’s been nearly two years now, gone by so fast
Like the fast-food restaurants they built while you were away
Pull into the drive-thru, speak into a box
Discard the paper wrappers when you’re through
These people can’t comprehend the choices you made
So you don’t tell them a thing
[Chorus]
Unproud warrior
Unproud warrior
Unproud warrior
You made your house your own
[Verse 2]
Some blame their actions on their government
It’s all orders for these lily-white comrades
They hang up their guns on a nail of rosewater
And participate in their grandson’s parade
But you know you had more choices than they let on
A soldier is not a cog, but a man like any other
These thoughts you revisit every time you turn on a movie
And see a depiction that is far from your own experience
