Put On Your Brave Face Mary Lyrics

Mary fought back tears when she saw that far off look in his eyes
Said what'd they do to you baby I can feel you dying inside
I got your six just like you've always had mine
And these invisible scars don't change the man you are
And everything's gonna be all right

Put on your brave face Mary
Put on your brave face
Put on your brave face Mary
Put on your brave face

Well the VA's understaffed and the lines are around the block
So he calls up the hotline but nobody there has the time to talk
They're backed up for days and they're dealing with
Demons they don't understand
Mary holds the line and he takes matters in to his own hands

Put on your brave face Mary
Put on you brace face
Put on your brave face Mary
Put on you brace face

Now he's fighting for his life and Mary she's a rock
It's all over the news so Washington's gearing up to talk the talk
Seven hundred billion and somehow not enough to go around
So the price we pay are the twenty-two a day committed to the ground
Put on your brave face Mary
Put on you brace face
Put on your brave face Mary
Put on you brace face
Put on your brave face Mary
Put on you brace face
Put on your brave face Mary
