Arlington - chuck pelletier music video | Stephen Foster

Arlington - music video - from the album "Flight Times" - Chuck Pelletier, singer-songwriter; Video directed by Rod Damer, USMC ARLINGTON When the thick black gun smoke makes rain in the Mojave sky There's no death to wash away Not a shot of war's hit this land since it fought itself But it's bound to break someday We are the chosen ones We are the fresh young guns Somebody else's sons who'll try We are the chosen ones We are the fresh young guns Somebody else's sons who'll die For the country How many miles, how many miles down to Arlington? A new rank and file, how many miles down to Arlington? Who's gonna lead, who's gonna lead down to Arlington? Who's gonna bleed, who's gonna lead down to Arlington? Where the fresh cut grass pushes up through the Virginia soil The honor hangs as thick as frost I guess every war ended here for a lot of men They never knew who won or lost We are the chosen ones We are the fresh young guns Somebody else's sons who'll try We are the chosen ones We are the fresh young guns Somebody else's sons who'll die For the country How many dead, how many dead down at Arlington? How many said, “You won't catch me dead down at Arlington.” Am I alive, am I alive 'cause of Arlington? When they arrive, are they alive down at Arlington? Our guns don't scream for war No one alive wants cease-fire more Still bound to fight If your chosen leaders say to fight And pray to God the cause is right Then we can die, then we can die down at Arlington If we know why, then we can die down at Arlington So how many miles down to Arlington?
