Lyrics:
Weathered statues, tin soldiers that march in our parks Wrapped in yellowed newsprint, on their benches in the dark Faces fill with sadness, sorrow drawn from your nights Surviving on old glories but now the glory's have died Lonely men who are tortured, once proud but now forgotten Gnarled hands hold canes, where guns were once before Taunted by the children whose parents' lives he saved Forgotten by a state, whose leg in war he gave Silver gleams upon his chest, though sweat gleams on his brow Darker days and sable knights, who work upon his soul His honor flew away from him, like pigeons on the wind Spending his last pennies on cheap wines and sins But still they make the soldiers And soldiers still grow old Pump their minds with dignity, then let the young men go Another day, another statue, falls out in the dawn Weathered Statues still march on and on
