Dan Coffman All Our Civil Deeds Lyrics

I met a stranger on the street today
He asked me for some change
but didn't bother telling me his name
and with my good intentions
well I gave him all the change I had
despite this good'ol deed
my simple stranger still seemed so damn sad

this is the life
that everybody's use to (x2)
but what about you

I've brother spends his whole life
fighting the war in Iraq
He's got a loving family and we all just want him back
I know he loves his country
and he's proud of all the good deeds that he's done
but with the falling of one bomb
my brother could be gone

this is the life
that everybody's use to (x2)
but what about you, ya

I said..
no, no, no, no, no...
no, no, no, no, no...
no, no, no, no, no...
no, no, no, no, no...
no, no, no, no, no...
