Written by peter green.

Im gonna catch the first train home
I dont know what I come here for
Yeah, first train home
I dont know what I come here for
cause for nine long years I couldnt even walk out of my door
Heres what I say

Break:

Im gonna catch the first train home
I dont know what I come here for
The first train, the first train home
I dont know what I come here for
cause for nine long years, I couldnt even walk out of my door

2. Allow me to post the lyrics
good choice...

Pearl Jam No More Lyrics

I speak for a man who gave for this land
took a bullet in the back for his pay
spilled his blood in the dirt and the dust
and he's come back to say

That what he has seen is hard to believe
and it does no good to just pray
he asks of us to stand, and we must
end this war today

With his mind he's saying NO MORE
With his heart he's saying NO MORE
With his life he's saying NO MORE WAR

With his eyes he's saying NO MORE
With his body he's saying NO MORE
With his voice he's saying NO MORE WAR

Nothing's too good for a Veteran
yeh, this is the way they say
so nothing is what they will get
in this new American way

The lies that were told to get us to go
were criminal, let us be straight
let's get to the point where our voices are heard
behind the White House gate

With our minds we're saying NO MORE
With our hearts we're saying NO MORE
With our lives we're saying NO MORE WAR

With our eyes we're saying NO MORE
With our bodies we're saying NO MORE
With our voices we're saying NO MORE WAR

No more innocents dying
No more terrorizing
No more eulogizing
No more evangelizing
No more Presidents lying

No more war.

8. Here's a little number I know you'll love
Wasteland of the Free
By iris DeMent (1996)

We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines
and their speech is growing increasingly unkind
They say they are Christ's disciples
but they don't look like Jesus to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got politicians running races on corporate cash
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass
You may call me old-fashioned
but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay
but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job
to some third-world country 'cross the sea
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars
So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors
and we call ourselves the advanced civilization
that sounds like crap to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got high-school kids running 'round in Calvin Klein and Guess
who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test
but if you ask them, they can tell you
the name of every crotch on MTV
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win
Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin
but he's standing up for what he believes in
and that seems pretty damned American to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

While we sit gloating in our greatness
justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the fre
