When They’re Gone Lyrics by Tanner Fresh

When They’re Gone - Single

2014

[Intro]
Give a man a gun what does he become? x4
[Verse 1: Tanner Fresh]
Picture SGt Chad, just became a Dad
Missed it was posted in Bagdad
Second gen. proudly wears a Uniform
Proudly does duty, tactfully Performs
On a night ops a team of night hawks
In enemy territory, sights cocked
Boom an I-E-D ; Chad can’t see
Shots Ricocheting off nearby trees
Chad on his knees Fights to breath
Flashback of a cut short life indeed
His wife and parents well they watch TV
And To their horror who the hell do they see?
Sad, A daughter never meets her father
Sad, A father never meets his daughter
And rest assured cause he died in honor?
She joins the force to honor her father. (Damn)
[Hook: Tanner Fresh]
What Have we all done?
Giving our kids such deadly guns!
When they leave and when they're gone
Our sisters, brothers, daughters, sons
[verse 2: Tanner Fresh]
Imagine PVT Niclette, trained in Bayonet
Building trenches made of blood and sweat
Knows she only has about 2 weeks left
Under constant fire, leaves her over Stressed
Doesn’t watch her step - trips a Claymore
Is this why she’s here – is it what she came for?
Is this really what our - people are paid for?
Pawns in the Govt’s - game of war
She Screams for help - nobody hears
Alone she breaks down into tears
Served her country, less than a year
Given purple hearts over public cheer
She had no boo - single mother of two
Fought so her kids could go to school
They turned 18 and picked up arms
Avenging those that caused her harm, damn
[Hook: Tanner Fresh]
What Have we all done?
Giving our kids such deadly guns!
When they leave and when they're gone
Our sisters, brothers, daughters, sons
What Have we all done?
Giving our kids such deadly guns!
When they leave and when they're gone
Our sisters, brothers, daughters, sons
[Outro]
Give our kids these guns and what do they become? x4
