Blood of Heroes

It’s so easy to complain
About every little thing
The traffic was hell today
And now you have to work late
Thoughts of the world outside
Never enter your mind
While others selflessly pay the price
When you’re whining about
How tough life is
Don’t forget who takes the blows
This land that you call home
Is paid for by the blood
The precious blood of heroes
Conveniently oblivious
To the sacrifices made
The biggest challenge you’ll find
Is paying your bills on time
The skirmish abroad
Is just a blip on TV
Getting in the way of your reality
