Lie alone in an empty bedroom    You were young so long ago   Lost the purple heart they gave you   Why did it mean so much before?      Crawled from the remains of war   Soon the world will care no more   They've never been through living hell   "Just an old man with a story to tell"      [Chorus]      NO ONE KNOWS   NO ONE CARES   NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU NO MORE      Strung along on a soldier's pension   And you've survived so many friends   Fought for God and Country,   Only to be forgotten in the end      Crawled from the remains of war   Soon the world will care no more   They've never been through living hell   "Just an old man with a story to tell"      [Chorus]      And with each new generation   Another story ceases to be told   What about the new generations?   Will anybody know?      Someday you'll be forgotten   Just a chapter in the history books   And they'll see a thousand crucifixes   With no names at all
