76 Reasons

Golden boy with stars and stripes Poster child of better times They built us up so goddamn high Just to watch the whole thing die (Watch it die) Command decisions, perfect aim Till betrayal called my name They said I died in flames that day But some ghosts don't fade away (Don't fade away) 76 reasons why I can't sleep at night 76 bullets left to make it right Not a hero anymore Just a soldier in a private war Now every target's got a price For paradise.. lost twice (Lost twice) Visor reads the heat of lies Through the smoke of alibis They thought they buried all the truth Now I'm digging up the proof (Up the proof) The medals tarnished long ago The statues crumbled in the snow But duty doesn't need a name When justice is a private game I'm not your golden boy Not your symbol of hope Just a trigger to pull When your world's at the rope (At the rope) 76 reasons why I can't sleep at night 76 bullets left to make it right Not a hero anymore Just a soldier in a private war Now every target's got a price For paradise.. lost twice (Lost twice) They can keep their goddamn glory I'll keep my loaded gun 'Cause someone's gotta be the bad guy To get the hard work done (Work done)
