Dad's been to war
And he doesn't talk about it
Not talking isn't exactly a family trait
not at all what we're known for
this silence about what he saw there
words couldn't possibly say more
When I was a young man
Watching the politicians on TV
my dad pointed at the most combative of them
screaming America was worth fighting for
Every one if these hawks, without exception, he explained
Were men who'd never been to war
