Someone of Value Lyrics
Out in the darkness, there lives an old man
who eats raw chicken, with his dirty bare hands
and he says maybe, I made some bad choices
and maybe, it’s just the voices
and maybe, I could be like you, red, white and blue
and wave my flag in your parade,
and wave my flag in your parade…
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who mattered
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who matters…
Down on the corner’s, a girl we call Loosy Lou
cuz she’ll do anything, for just a dollar or two
and she says maybe, I made some bad choices
but every night, I hear their voices
and maybe, I could be like you
and not be, black and blue
and wave my flag in your parade,
and wave my flag in your parade…
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who mattered
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who matters…
Up on the hill, lives a veteran with no legs
who fought for his country, and now he has to beg
and he says maybe, I made some bad choices
listening to all your voices
and maybe, I could be like you, and not be cut in two
and wave my flag in your parade,
and wave my flag in your parade…
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who mattered
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who matters
