Homecoming Heroes

So now I know
People want a story
One ending with glory
And the wave of their flag
Well, as far as I can tell
The homecoming heroes
Get put in the headlines
And back off they go CHORUS:
And I won’t stand for anything more
We tried our hand even though we were poor
We’ve put in the time
Casting our lines off shore
Yes, some things I dread
I duck into alleys
I avoid the rallies
It’s a choice of my own
CHORUS
Well I’m sorry, but I find no glory in that
I just want you off my back
And there’s not a word in my head floating around
You won’t pick apart and put down
CHORUS
We’ve put in the time
Casting our lines
I’m sorry, but I find no glory in that
I just want you off my back
And there’s not a word in my head floating around
You won’t pick apart and put down
So get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
