A trip cut short before it began That one last shot of smoke and gun Or that empty bottle he said he'd stop that day A federal case of what has been done To a city far up on opiates The doctor, he got off, he shot up and walked away They simply say that we're just losers They ask about how we were raised Or shake their heads, at damn pollution In time, it goes away, this all fades This is to the fallen ones Swept aside the dead and done This is for the fallen ones today The empty heart a hero saw The beaten down, all hope is gone This is for the fallen ones today They simply say we must be losers They talk about how we were raised Or shake their heads, so much confusion But in time, it goes away, it all fades, yeah This is to the fallen ones Swept aside so very young This is for the fallen ones today The empty heart a hero saw The beaten down, all hope is gone This is for the fallen ones today The trampled down would never walk The day is young, the Sun will come This is for the fallen ones today This is for the fallen ones today
