Grean Tea The Artist – 22 lyrics

How many lives do we lose between dusk and sunrise?
Tortured dreams keep them awake
Reliving battle fields long past each and every day.
There’s gotta be something we can so besides say “You served? Thank
You.”
We got work to do.

22 a day that ain’t ok
22 a day
There’s got to be another way
Than 22 a day

What is the price of keeping this country safe at night?
Do special interests have a day
In why they put their lives on the line each day?
Combat they see, PTSD, friend got caught by an IED
Got to stop 22.

22 a day that ain’t ok
22 a day
There’s got to be another way
Than 22 a day

Warriors bring home the fight with them
Now turned away by government.
To see a doctor have to wait for 2 whole years,
By that time many of the soldiers disappear.

If VA can’t help, paperweight
How do we demonstrate
Support for Marines, Navy, Army and Air
And the special forces that we’ll never know were there.

The trauma’s real, anxiety’s real,
These are the things some of our soldiers feel.
1 in 10 people without a home is a veteran
All alone.

I don’t see how this could be ok
Or allowed to stay this way.
They served already, don’t make them pay
Any more for puttin’ themselves in harm’s way.

22 a day that ain’t ok
22 a day
There’s got to be another way
Than 22 a day

22 a day that ain’t ok
22 a day
There’s got to be another way
Than 22 a day
