Welcome to life during peacetime
Where I get to go home
Flag waving high
They say it’s the last of them
And I’m one to believe:
After what they put us through, it had better be

Welcome to life during peacetime
Where they act like they care
And I can provide
You want a family
And we don’t have to wait
Cause I’ll retire at 65 with money in the bank

So I will build this house
And never leave

So much has changed
What can we expect?
When I can’t stop thinking about
Not enough love and too much debt

You learn not to see
And you try to pretend
When you teach your kids to do what they love only on nights and weekends
So I will dream of this house
But never leave

Welcome to life during peacetime
